Best Answer
  1. It is generally cheaper for people to negotiate health insurance prices through their employer as the combined company has better negotiating power than a single person.
  2. Employers keep more productive employees if they encourage health among their employees. As such some of the insurance may be subsidized by the workplace. Employers also have an incentive to make sure that employees spend some of their earnings on health maintenance.
  3. It is far less effort for an employee to get health insurance from their employers than on their own.

Do individuals need to obtain health insurance if they have a job?

Some jobs provide individuals who are employees with health insurance benefits. However, not all employers provide health insurance, and in that case an individual would need to purchase their own health insurance if they wished to be covered. Also, some employers do not offer health insurance until after a probationary period (typically 90 days). If the employee wished to have health insurance during that period, they would have to purchase it on their own.
