Didn't this already happen under Obamacare?

A bunch of service sector employers tried to schedule their staff at under 32 hours while still squeezing them for 40+ hours of work. Everyone hated the system, because it continued to leave the onus of health care on individual employers, while private premiums climbed. And then the courts + Trump Admin defanged any effective enforcement.

What a great system. So glad we weren't simply covering everyone with Medicaid by default.
