If somebody wants a job with healtcare benefits then get a job with healthcare.
We're sorry sir, but your job has been outsourced to (Mexico, India, China, Poland, Russia...).

Have a job without healthcare and too lazy to do something about it? Purchase healthcare.
I'd love to, but my IT job was outsourced to India, and now I have to work at Walmart. My Walmart manager told me to sign up for MedicAid from the government, from whom Walmart also received $2 million to build this store.
Last I checked this is america. We are free to choose our own destiny and career path just as much as we are free to change it. Plus unemployment insurance and COBRA already cover the scenarios you described.
Yes, and as companies exert more and more pressure on workers by increasing uncompensated overtime and by decreasing benefits and merit increases that don't keep up with inflation while increasing top executive compensation packages, I think more and more people will look for alternatives... like socialized medicine. As I said previously, I would vote for that alternative. Given time, enough people may think that way also.
