>legislating that a part-time job would need to offer a fraction of the benefits proportional
I mean, I think you’re spot on with the incentives but but I worry that your proposed solution would just take what is already a complicated system related to benefits like healthcare and just turn it into a bigger rats nest. It’s hard enough for people to navigate providers for in-network services, then haggle with insurance companies etc. I can’t imagine if this was fractured along different more complicated means.
I know it may be a pipe dream in the US but it seems like a better solution would be to divorce benefits from employers entirely through a single payer system
