Plenty of companies manage to make money and provide well above minimum wage and health benefits. If Uber were "forced to employ them properly", there very well may not be an Uber (at the very least there will be fewer drivers), and the drivers you're worried so much about will have one less option.

The beauty of capitalism is that no one is forced to do anything, but no one is entitled to anything either. Uber isn't conscripting it's drivers, they're free to seek out higher pay, better benefits, and the best deal they can somewhere else, or, if they can't, invest in their own human capital/move etc so that they can.
