I wonder how much the stress level would change if Americans had a tax-funded universal healthcare system?

- EliRivers 8y agoI certainly know people who stay in jobs they hate because they fear going without medical cover for self and family; in contrast, over six jobs in 18 years, I've only once lined up a job before quitting and the idea of having to keep a job for the medical insurance sounds like bondage to me (yes, I know, it's not bondage, it's all just relative - that's what it sounds like to me). Being able to simply quit (and sometimes just knowing it's a genuine option) when I get sick of work has, I suspect, contributed to my mental health. I've seen people keep jobs they hate because they need to keep providing for their family. In the worst cases, they come to resent those very same loved ones for what they have to go through on a daily basis. It's not healthy for anyone involved.
