Exactly why health care should never be tied to a job.

Funnily, whenever a European dares to go into that argument, what they get is hateful comments from the American people about how (supposedly) messed up their countries are, and oh of course how homogeneous their societies are, which America isn't, therefore excuses, excuses, yadda yadda yadda.
