CMV: All jobs should have health insurance, even part-time
This post is specifically about the US. I know that a lot of other countries already have free healthcare.
I think the government should force companies to offer health insurance benefits to all their employees, even part-time workers. **Of course, the government could also implement universal healthcare, but I don't have much faith in them doing that anytime soon, so I think this solution would work for now.**
I think it's kind of ridiculous that you could work a job (any job) and not get health insurance benefits. As of right now, companies over a certain size have to offer their full-time workers health insurance benefits, but they get around this by scheduling people part-time so they don't have to pay for it.
This would also be good for the economy since there would be more healthy workers. Also, someone who's disabled (or otherwise preoccupied) might say something like, "I can manage working part-time at Starbucks (or wherever)" because now they don't have to worry about losing their Medicaid benefits and therefore their health insurance.
In anticipation of counterarguments, an exception might be made for small businesses since I don't know if they could afford it. But big bu

From my side, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why the comments look the way they do That part stands out. Not convinced this is settled yet. At least from my perspective.
the main issue seems to be how this is handled which explains why reactions are split That’s just how it reads to me.
From a neutral view, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which explains why reactions are split That’s the key detail here. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Others will probably see it differently.
Not gonna lie, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s just how it reads to me.

On the surface, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that tension shows up immediately This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s just my read on it.
Without overthinking it, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which turns this into more of a debate
this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where the disagreement starts Curious how this plays out. At least from my perspective.
this reads stronger on paper than in practice which makes the reaction pretty predictable This probably isn’t the last word on it.

From the outside, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage This could age very differently in a week. Others will probably see it differently.

On the surface, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that friction is hard to ignore That’s the key detail here. That’s the impression it gives me.

I get the idea, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term.
