was that it would free people up to leave jobs they disliked to start their own businesses and to take risks to create something new. In the past, a person with a family might just have to suck it up and endure a job they disliked because they feared losing their health insurance if they went out on their own. By removing that worry, you're increasing the freedom of a person to choose the path they want in life.
