You're right, but I hate that if I'm thinking of leaving a job, I need to take benefits and pre-existing conditions and my age into account before I can really give up a policy. IMO, linking policies to jobs is as random as linking them to where you live - i.e., Gee, I'd love to move to another apartment, but the one that's closer to my children's schools has a worse benefits package, and the one that's closer to my work won't let me enroll my spouse. It's just a dumb set-up.
