Ask some of these republicans:Since when were people "trapped" at a job they hated....
People I have known left companies I worked for to get another job with better pay,less of a commute
and better benefits.
A lot of people change their jobs. So the tax benefit should change and go with them, and not be attached to their jobs. We want to address job lock. So, the key question that ought to be addressed in any health care reform legislation, is are we going to continue job lock, or are we going to allow individuals more choice, and portability to fit the 21st century workforce? [Paul Ryan, 5/20/2009]
Today, leaving a job or changing jobs means leaving behind the health insurance provided at the place of work. Individuals who wish to take a better job, change careers, or leave the workforce to raise a family or to retire early take substantial risks. [...] Under the McCain plan, which links tax breaks directly to individuals instead of to their place of work, individuals would no longer feel obligated to stay with their employers simply because they need to keep their employer-based health insurance. [Heritage Foundation, 10/15/2008]
Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that Im going to put in place . I also want individuals to be able to buy insurance, health insurance, on their own as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax advantage basis through their company. [Mitt Romney, 9/9/2012]
[T]he employer-based system leads to job lock, whereby people are afraid to leave their jobs if they fall ill on the job, because switching plans could mean higher premiums or denial of coverage. [Avik Roy, former health care adviser to Mitt Romney, 2/7/2012]
