[quote=livinincali][quote=FlyerInHi]Someone said earlier that linking employment to insurance is bad. I agree.
That the link discourages mobility in the economy, especially for people who have families and medical conditions.[/quote]
So you’d probably agree that defined benefit pension pensions do the same thing correct?[/quote]
I wouldn’t. The two have almost no similarity. You can separate from an employer and defined benefit pension plans remain intact (to the extent vested). Many allow for an immediate rollover to another plan. But they never disappear so long as the employer is following the law and funding the plan. Which means defined benefit plans are identical to defined contribution plans in that respect. Employer paid medical insurance disappears upon separation.
