Abstract:
Healthcare analysts have long deplored the linkage between health insurance and employment. It makes no sense for one's health insurance to end if one leaves a job. Various state reform plans, including that of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, deal with the healthcare system as a whole. But President Bush's proposed fix does not go far enough.
