Dream Job? 1 in 3 would reject it over health insurance concerns
A new survey has revealed one in three Americans would turn down a dream job if it didn’t offer good health insurance options. The poll of 2,000 U.S. adults found three-quarters (73%) consider healthcare options an important factor if they were looking for a new job, and 63% wouldn’t be afraid to ask about their options during a job interview. However, given the state of importance placed on healthcare by Americans, 42% believe their employer only offers them the bare minimum for health insurance options. In fact, 44% believe they’d have better health options if the issue was brought to the attention of their employer. With benefits enrollment season upon us, the study, commissioned by Tres Health and conducted by Talker Research, revealed that many find their healthcare lacking or unaffordable — in fact, 42% said they’d even change jobs if a potential new employer were to offer better healthcare options than what they currently have.
