The video discusses the concept of portable benefits, which allow workers to carry their benefits from one job to another, and enable multiple employers to contribute to the same plan. This idea is gaining bipartisan support in Congress. Companies, especially in the sharing economy, are interested in this system as it allows them to offer benefits without full employer liability. Future legislative actions are expected, with initial experiments at city and state levels.
