jenius asked:


I know individuals with pre-existing condtions who want to work, but would like to do something outside the traditional office job, i.e., teach at two community colleges, do freelance writing and translating, etc., but they are locked into their jobs because of the insurance issue, and they don’t qualify for state aid, hence “job lock.” Also, I know some individuals who are in marriages where they are not particularly happy, but the one spouse brings in the health benefits while the other stays home and minds the kids. So, this phenomenon is known as “slob lock,” but what I am asking is if health-insurance would make America nearly unrecognizable in regards to marriage and employment with a spike in divorce rates and a huge number of people quitting their jobs to pursue more customized career paths?
