Maybe relieving employers of the need to provide all full time employees with fringe benefits (ie. medical insurance)?
I don't know if this means we need a publicly funded, single-payer, healthcare system, or if there is a more attractive solution. But the way a person's healthcare is tied to their employer in this country is rather bizarre, and I'm sure it is widely regarded by businesses as an incentive to avoid brining on more full-time people.

Even before it was legally mandated, market forces made it virtually impossible to not offer it for full-time skilled labor. Why would I work for you when I can go to your competitor, work for them and get medical insurance? Even if I was in a position where I needed a job, as soon as I can leave, I'm going to go elsewhere.
