As someone with a chronic illness, thank you for this. I don't want my employer to be responsible for my insurance. I want portability and privacy. I want more than just the options my employer decided to pick.

If this becomes a trend, we could see the individual ACA marketplace strengthened. Right now part of the problem is that they are missing a lot of the healthy people in the group market, which is partly why the big insurers have left the market - for example, the California exchange is missing UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and so on.
