? If healthcare/benefits is provided by the government from taxes outside of your job then it doesn’t matter if you have a full/part time job?

But that's not the case today in the US. My point is that the government mandating that full-time jobs provide benefits (which is the case today in the US) doesn't fix the adverse selection problem. All it does is lead to a bunch of jobs right under the cutoff for full-time.
