When my aunt was diagnosed with cancer, she quit her job and was approved for Medicaid within a two week period. The government paid for her treatment, and she went back to work a year later once her cancer was in remission.
...I don't know how common this is in other countries. It seemed like a pretty good deal from her perspective.
She shouldn’t have to quit her job to get usable healthcare. Healthcare shouldn’t be tied to your job.
Marrying the two together is a way to prevent people from switching jobs; why would you when the next place you go has crappier insurance even though it’s best for your overall career.
