Why do you expect people to just leave their jobs?
If I leave my job without notice, I get fired. Jobs are scarce where I live. If I have no job I lose my apartment. If I have no apartment, I am homeless. If I am homeless I can’t get a job. If I can’t get a job I’m dead because I can’t afford my asthma meds.
Honestly, I’ve thought for a long time that this is one of the big reasons Republicans are against universal healthcare. If losing your job could likely end in homelessness or death it’s so much harder to protest.

That, and your healthcare being tied to employment means your employer can abuse you more. Which I guess boils down to the same thing.
