Every gig-based employer needs to be lobbying hard for universal health care. It's not the only benefit of being a employee, but it's a big one. If we keep insisting that only employees get health care then people are going to want to be considered employees.

Most economists believe this is hugely inefficient and a big policy mistake. If we're lobbying hard for pie in the sky goals, it'd be better to get rid of that (or let employers deduct contributions to individual plans instead) instead of applying the same crappy policy to gig economy jobs too.
