We have one of the few societies, the only one I can think of right offhand, where your health care is so tied to your job, so that when an American company has to hire, they have to think about health care.

Summary

This quote highlights the unique nature of the American healthcare system, which is heavily tied to employment. Unlike many other societies, where healthcare is provided by the government or independent of one's employment status, in the United States, individuals often rely on their job to access healthcare benefits. This creates a situation where companies are not only concerned with hiring competent employees but also have to consider their ability to provide healthcare coverage. The quote draws attention to the distinct connection between employment and healthcare in American society.
