How much does health insurance actually influence job changes in the US?
I’m not American, so I’m curious how important health insurance actually is when people decide to change jobs in the US. From the outside it seems like it can be a major factor since it’s tied to employment, but I’m wondering if people actually turn down better offers or higher salaries because the health insurance is worse or more expensive, or if it only matters in specific situations like having a family or ongoing medical needs. How common is it to stay in a job mainly because of the benefits, and how risky is it to be between jobs in terms of losing healthcare coverage?
