Profitable to Uber, or to the driver? Uber gets a ~30% cut of what the rider pays (though it varies per ride).

I meant profitable to Uber.
I highly doubt this is accurate. There's no reason why drivers can't maintain the same hours but still be considered an employee.

I would love to be the health insurance provider getting Uber as a client. I'd be freaking rich on premiums.

The risk pool could be different. If its people that can't hold full time jobs driving, that may speak to the state of their health.
