It is absolutely beyond the pale for the healthcare access of someone and their family to be linked to their employment. It perverts the freedom of movement between jobs that people have a fundamental right to.
I'd love to hear from Americans on the matter. Have you ever made career choices based on the effects it would have on healthcare coverage? Have you ever tolerated a bad job or bad employer because of access to healthcare coverage? Have you ever decided _not_ to take a risk starting your own small business because of loss of healthcare coverage? Have you ever had a family crisis and through it been forced to continue working in order to keep healthcare coverage?
I'm sure there are an assortment of remedies, but the fact that access to healthcare _EVER_ factors in to your career is manifestly wrong.
