The laws in the US only require companies to provide health insurance and other benefits to full-time workers, usually defined as something over 30/hours a week. If a company hires a bunch of people to work 20-25 hours, they don't have to pay benefits.
The solution, obviously, is to change the law so that any employee, regardless of hours, must get benefits. The other solution, in the US, is to get rid of the antiquated employer-provided private health insurance market and just give everyone health care, the way every other wealthy (and not-so-wealthy) country does.
