I feel like the gig economy would work better in a socialized healthcare system.

Most economies do, since it reduces friction and allows workers to better allocate labor across the market.

Socialized healthcare, and more broadly social safety nets and services, lubricate the economy to prevent labor movement friction from causing inefficiency.
