Nothing to do with nursing per-se, but de-coupling employment from health insurance would be a good thing. I realize that there are lots of other complicated issues with regard to health care and health insurance but I can't think of any other service that is so tightly coupled to your employer.

Yep, 100% agree.

If you've ever worked in a small organization (~50 employees), it's amazing how much money, time and energy is spend on health insurance. Every single HR person in the country needs to be an expert on these esoteric insurance edges or you get taken for a ride and your employees and balance sheet suffer.
