One thing this article doesn't discuss: at least some of the times where I "lost" my employer-sponsored insurance (either because I switched jobs or because my start-up decided to switch providers), it went to something better than what I had before, and most of the time it was a change that was a matter of indifference (from one major plan provider to another where everything was pretty similar). In most universal health care proposals I've seen, "leaving," isn't really an option, you're just stuck with The Healthcare Option. Whatever the merits of the more general arguments for or against, it seems like we should at least not put a finger on the scale.
