Nearly 33 percent of employees would be somewhat or very likely to quit their jobs in the near future if it wasn’t for their employer-provided healthcare coverage, according to the study, which surveyed 1,401 adults. Among adults aged 18 to 34, the same figure swelled to 40 percent.
Over a quarter (26 percent) of respondents said that if health insurance wasn’t a factor, they would start their own business. Among 18-to-34-year-olds, 37 percent said insurance was a major factor in dissuading entrepreneurship.
The survey also found a well of uncertainty surrounding knowledge of health insurance policy and public options. About 61 percent of respondents were unsure as to whether financial aid is available for ACA plans.
