If it were not for work provided insurance, most people would not be able to afford health insurance.

Nonsense. Health insurance is part of your compensation as an employee. If, instead of providing it, your employer simply added its cost to your pay, and the tax code were changed to make health insurance deductible, then you could buy your own insurance and not be faced with yet another hassle when changing jobs.

Employer-provided health insurance got its start in this country as a way of avoiding libtard wage and price controls: Employers were forbidden to bid up wages, so they starting offering health insurance as a way around the wage limits. Employer-provided insurance is a monstrosity that should be abolished.
