Comment on Companies like Uber and Lyft should NOT be allowed to treat their employees like dirt

For sure. But having your health insurance tied to your employer is one of the things that are fundamentally wrong with the US.

Exactly this. It started in WWII during a period of stabilized wages (i.e. federally enforced upper limits on wages to make things more fair for companies seeking labour) as a way of offering benefits to attract employees, but it would of course be cheaper for everyone if we switched over to universal healthcare. And actually cover everyone instead of leaving millions to die.
