> Someone drives 40 hours for Uber one week, and then goes away for two months. How much health care do they get? Do they get cash or a week of benefits?

One week of health benefits into the common pool.

I would prefer that the driver get it. I am also okay with it being used to pay for the healthcare of the indigent who show up at an emergency room (which is what the driver will present as, eventually).

> Technically even full time W2 employees don't have to get health insurance

Huh? Your employer doesn't have to provide it. But I'm pretty sure that people being required to carry health insurance was one of the provisions of the ACA. I have to file a form with my taxes showing coverage. Has that changed?

> Ironically, if we had single payer healthcare that was funded by taxes, the entire thing would be moot.

This is misdirection.

That doesn't solve the fact that Uber and Lyft drivers are being paid below minimum wage. That ALSO needs to be fixed.
