I do a lot of consulting as well and am comfortable with it. But most people with families want more stability. I don't know why you're pretending to be surprised by this.

Your personal preferences aren't really the topic at hand.

It's not about my personal preferences. If you're concerned about an instability period on your healthcare you can literally keep you old healthcare for up to 18 months with COBRA. Adding the contract-to-hire period doesn't really impact instability, at least as far as healthcare is concerned.

I fear we've gone down a wrong turn. You may be 100% correct that fears about instability are irrational and not well-grounded, which is the point you've argued for several posts.

But nobody is arguing with you. Nobody is making the contrasting argument. That simply isn't the conversation anybody is having. It's an interesting conversation, it just doesn't happen to be this conversation.

I asked what the concern was and you responded primarily in the area of health care/insurance. So that's what I addressed. What else is the conversation about if not that?
