This is why healthcare benefits shouldn't be tied with employment. IMO, that's the biggest thing contractors are missing out on by not being traditional employees. It's not like being an employee in the US gives you much more legal protection than being a contractor due to "at-will" employment laws. Universal healthcare decouples this critical service from employment, making _everyone_ more able to work flexibly.
