Many people take jobs that are not suited for them because of health insurance benefits available at mid-size and large businesses.

If people know that their access to good healthcare is safe, the economy will dramatically improve. You'll see more entrepreneurs striking out on their own after being shackled to bad jobs that they tolerated because of medical insurance benefits. Large employers won't be weighed down by health benefit costs for their employees, and hopefully that will result in more pay and expansion to create more jobs. No one will have to suffer financial hardship because of a health crisis.

Health care is a big deal. If people know that they will never lose access to good medical treatment, they will be happier. Happiness encourages positive attributes like creativity, motivation and satisfaction. It's critical to restoring a strong middle-class.

We need more humanity in our economy.
