The evidence for “job lock” is strong. One example: Americans’ likelihood of self-employment jumps when they turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare It's much more likely that people over 65 have started receiving their Social Security/401k benefits and have another source of income which minimizes the risk. I'm not sure why people think insurance is going to be more affordable now. There are aren't any real price controls in the Health Care bill. Exchanges may lower the price but if Massachusetts is any guide premiums are going to increase. There seems to be this belief that the government is going to mail you an insurance card if you don't already have coverage. I think a lot of people are going to be shocked once they find out what the government has signed them up for.
