Well, I'm not sure this is entirely true. I have what is known as a pre-existing condition and without drugs I would die within a year. I am very lucky right now to have medical coverage through my employment so I can still feed my kids. Without coverage I would go broke. Although the ACA is rancid horse crap and not single payer which is the ONLY logical option, the ACA did mention something about continued coverage for "pre-existing" conditions so as rancid as it is it is maybe a hair better than the rancidness currently in place. No one is required to cover my "pre-existing" condition I believe. So to say I have 35 million employment opportunities to find coverage I need isn't really being honest...keeping health care coverage is the new indentured slavery so to speak...it's a matter of life and death for me. For profit health insurance companies need to be vaporized completely. It's a sad situation.
(in the real world, the "employer" chooses you, not vice versa as you stated. you don't walk into a business and state, "I'm starting work here tomorrow at 8 am and here is how much you are paying me." Normally you have to apply for a job, go through an interview process, and the employer makes his/her choice. You only have the freedom to choose where you apply, you have to get chosen.)
