Correct. Uber drivers should play by the same health insurance rules as other workers. And under today's laws that requires they become employees.

Ideally health insurance should be decoupled from employment status, but until then, we should all play by the same rules.

Again, I'm not following. Even if Uber drivers became employees I don't see why they'd even get health insurance.

(This seems to be more about minimum wage, workers comp, UI, etc. which they would get)

So now uber drivers can only work 28 hours a week and now can't afford health care....
