Can an employee change health care plans HMO to PPO for example when the employer relocates the employee out of state and the plan like Kaiser is not available?

If the employer is the one that is relocating the employee to an area where they don't accept Kaiser's insurance, then I believe that you should be able to pay for your services/prescriptions upfront and then claiming it straight through the employer. You should check with your employer first, but they SHOULD do it. If not, you're going to be out of luck UNLESS they will pay for your premiums on your new plan. Every employer is different. They are not required to provide insurance to you, so you just have to ask about their policy on that.

Should you purchase term life insurance in addition to life insurance offered by your employer?

Keep in mind that usually life insurance through your employer does not leave with you when you leave work. So if it is 10 years and you decide to leave, you will at that time have to get your own individual life insurance. Now you are 10 years older and your height and weight could be different and you could have medical conditions. Yes, it is a good idea to get life insurance in addition to your work insurance. This way you will be covered at a younger age.
