Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance: 'Job Lock' Is Not the Problem -- 'Insurance Lock' Is
John Goodman's Health Policy Blog Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
Apr. 3, 2014
"We get our health benefits from our employer because they are non-taxable. If employees bought health insurance on our own, we would pay premiums with after-tax dollars.... But while there may be some job lock due to employer-based benefits, the problem has become way overblown in public discourse ... The real problem with our employer-based health benefits is 'insurance lock'. Until recently, and even now only for very large employers, an employee could only get his health-insurance policy from one insurer: The one chosen by his employer."
