Employer mandates and employee protection laws ironically worsen this problem. When employees gain access to a health plan at 30 hours a week, employers respond by cutting them off at 29 hours or even commit time tracking wage theft. Maybe we could just set pro rata taxes to pay for social insurance programs instead of having a binary distinction between full time employee or not. Imagine if instead of Social Security we had an employer mandate for pensions and nothing for part time workers.
