The fact that "your health insurance is tied to employment" is a conscious choice you, Americans, made. You could have a different system. You chose this one.

But, once more, admitting and owning the consequences of your choices is completely foreign to the American mindset.

You could have AGI emerging tomorrow, telling you "make health insurance universal", and you would unplug it/lobotomize immediately for being "too woke" or "communist".
