If the argument is that workers should be treated as employees because of the benefits given to employees (like health care), then you could apply that same argument here. The weird thing for me is to see politicians who advocate for universal health care also advocating for more workers being classified as employees. It seems like one of the big benefits of universal health care is that it decouples heath care and earning money, but I rarely see politicians making that argument.
