The problem in the current scenario is the drivers needs health insurance, but Uber isn't supplying it (nor are they paying a high enough wage to buy insurance on the open market), so tax-payers are stuck footing the bill anyways.
- mjevans 6y agoThis is also what's happening with //part time// workers, and anyone else who isn't getting a 'full job'. As another reply mentioned, cliffs (cutoffs) incentivize gaming the cutoff.
- alistairSH 6y agoYup. The 30-hour (I think that's the value) cliff for insurance wasn't a brilliant idea. I don't know the best (most efficient for society) solution, but I'm pretty sure phasing out the tax write-off for employer-provided health insurance is a good start.
