I have yet to meet a single person who hasn't enthusiastically agreed that we should separate healthcare from employment. The reluctance comes when nobody has any idea what we're going to replace it with.
We're at an unusual social state in this country where nobody trusts the government and nobody trusts big business. What does that leave?
I'm a US freelancer, so I don't get health insurance through my employer. I get most of my healthcare directly from doctors and pay for visits and lab tests in cash. It works especially well when you tell them in advance you'll be paying with cash and haggle a price before walking through the door. I pay for a high deductible plan through a christian co-op for unforeseen events. This has proven to be considerably cheaper and more effective than paying for a plan through the obamacare marketplace.
