What it ignores though is the interesting part, if the hiring manager knows of his illness.
I'm quite right wing, but that's why imho medical costs should be socialized. But of course, there are many problems that come along with that.

I couldn't agree more. Most importantly, our career choices shouldn't be coupled to our health needs. It's ridiculous, and it's even more amazing that the US health care industry has somehow convinced conservatives that this is a good situation. As we can see from the OP, the coupling of job to health care in the US literally stifles innovation and job mobility.
I heard someone say that health care is completely provided in Australia for about 2% of your gross pay because the leeches have been removed from the process ... is this true?
P.S. Leeches = anyone that inserts themselves into the process without adding meaningfully to the quality of care provided.

There are zero cases of bankruptcy due to medical illness, or people being denied care because of a lack of insurance.
