> Uber drivers get their healthcare costs covered by the rest of us

So what? People without jobs also get their healthcare covered by MediCal (with zero out of pocket expenses). Is that also a problem? Wouldn't it be better if we had universal healthcare?

It would be better if we had universal healthcare, but that will not happen for, at the very least, 6 years. Meanwhile, Uber should not be allowed to undercut competitors by simply offloading costs to the common man.
