The best fix for this is to eliminate the "benefits" corporations see by hiring temps/part time over just hiring for a full time job.
If a job is really a partial job require pro-rated benefits (and favor the worker slightly so that it encourages just having full-time jobs).
That might also encourage businesses/the rich to put their political pressure towards socializing those costs instead of outsourcing them to individual (temp/part time) employees.

Having worked at a big tech co, our budget for contractors and vendors was different than our budget for full time employees. It wasn't that vendors were even cheaper, the average was close to $100 / hour, and vendors got paid for every hour they worked! But vendors were easier to let go if they turned out to not be good, or if (when) the department budget was cut. Getting approval for head count could take forever, but if I wanted to hire 3 vendors next week, it was only an issue of "is the money there right now?", not "will the money be there for years and years to come". (As an aside, at one point in time the 3rd or 4th highest earning person in the building was one of my vendors, he was earning over 250K per year for awhile, all cash!)
