I can't help but feel the problem is that someone becomes "full time" in the US after exactly 40 hours.
I feel like some kind of gradient system would be ideal. Like if you work 10 hours a week you get 25% of the cash value of benefits. That way, a company wouldn't be incentivized to keep them right below the limit.

- whimsicalism 2y agothe ideal would be no benefits, just cash - and a negative income tax at the lower scales. catastrophic insurance can be paid by the state.
