I disagree with your assertions as healthcare is not the sole motivation, since massive Medicaid expansion has already taken care of that problem. The bigger issue really is that companies are not paying into unemployment, medicare, SSN and skirting around minimum wage by claiming everyone is a contractor.
As for immigration, the main issue that is that many California families are a mix of American citizens and illegal aliens that have lived here for decades

The only difference is that employees split the cost 50/50 with their employer while contractors pay the whole amount out of their own pocket. Contractors don't pay into unemployment, but they're also not eligible to receive unemployment benefits.
