This has several unintended consequences:
1) People stay in jobs they hate just for the insurance. This harms both the company and the individual.
2) It reduces entrepreneurship. In Canada if I want to start my own company, I don't have to worry about losing health insurance.
3) Children don't work (yet I guess) and old people don't work, so you need other systems to cover them, or just not cover them at all.

- gerbilly 7y agoSure, i guess, but you have to still pay for it. I don't have to pay anything for my health coverage. And before you say, I do through taxes, my tax rate can be pretty low if I have minimal income, which is often the case when starting a new business.
- xur17 7y agoI was honestly just curious if there were. I totally agree that health coverage is a major issue for entrepreneurs.
- gerbilly 7y agoIt certainly does exist. It even exists in Canada for extended coverage like dental and vision. Now why dental is not part of medical coverage is beyond me, but that's another topic.
