Stuck in a Job You Hate? Here's Why

Millions of Americans feel trapped in jobs they no longer want—and one of the biggest reasons isn't their paycheck. It's their health insurance.

In this segment, we examine the growing problem of "job lock," where workers stay in jobs they dislike because losing employer-sponsored health coverage could put their family's finances—and their health—at risk.

We also look at what this means for retirees, as new estimates show healthcare costs in retirement continue to climb.

If employment isn't truly voluntary because healthcare is tied to your job, how free is the American worker?
