Trifles from Anderson flagged a report on a federal study that concluded health insurance reform could create workforce instability. “Making health insurance less dependent on employment could induce workers to retire earlier or change jobs more often.”
It occurred to me when I read that conclusion that ending indentured servitude probably created workforce instability as well. Uncoupling health care from employment seems like an important thing to do. It just creates weird incentives all over the place. Ultimately, I think employees, employers, and the economy generally benefit if we limit the degree to which people are making employment decisions for non-work reasons.
