In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The credit is directed\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/businesses/Economic_Development_Incentives/EITCReport2016.pdf\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">primarily\u003c/span>\u003c/a> at poor families with children.

The most generous annual credit for a family of three kids or more is around $2,700.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>But for a group that is often denied the income support programs, labor protections and other benefits regularly afforded traditional employees, that extra pocket change represents a significant political win. It’s one of a string of recent legislative efforts to redefine the legal status of independent contractors, provide gig economy workers with new rights and benefits, and introduce state-sponsored benefit programs for the self- or precariously employed. The expanded credit is the most successful push yet from lawmakers and advocates who want to remake the 20th century social safety net for the 21st century labor force.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gigeconomy]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“We have a lot more activity in our economy in these ‘other’ categories, and we’re leaving those folks behind,” said Chris Hoene, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://calbudgetcenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Budget & Policy Center\u003c/a>, a nonpartisan think tank. “Our traditional definitions of work basically exclude them from the types of support that we provide to other people.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">How many of these \"other\" workers actually exist?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">According to a recent\u003ca href=\"http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/what-do-we-know-about-gig-work-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">study\u003c/span>\u003c/a> from the Center for Labor Research and Education at the University of California, Berkeley, 8.5 percent of California's workforce falls into the category of “unincorporated self-employed.\" Many more Californians work odd jobs on the side—nationwide, an\u003ca href=\"https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/tax-policy/tax-analysis/Documents/WP-114.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">estimated\u003c/span>\u003c/a> 6 percent do that.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Despite all the attention to the boom in on-demand labor platforms like Uber and TaskRabbit, the study’s authors say they actually represent a tiny portion of the “gig economy.” To the contrary, the overall share of self-employed Californians has remained relatively stable over the last two decades.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Still, Silicon Valley’s economic influence—coupled with a decades-long\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/23/385843576/50-years-of-shrinking-union-membership-in-one-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">decline\u003c/span>\u003c/a> in unionization rates, falling pension\u003ca href=\"https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v69n3/v69n3p1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">coverage\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, and\u003ca href=\"http://www.healthsystemtracker.org/interactive/?display=As%2520a%2520%2525%2520of%2520GDP&service=Hospitals%252CPhysicians%2520%2526%2520Clinics%252CPrescription%2520Drug\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">rising\u003c/span>\u003c/a> health care costs—raises new questions about what workforce protections and benefits should look like for the \"gig economy.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“We’re trying to figure this out before it comes a real issue,” said Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, chair of the Appropriations Committee. “I don’t feel like there’s been enough thought in a lot of circles about the economy that we’re creating and what that will do for the safety net of the state.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The expansion of the earned income tax credit suggests one possible way forward.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">By design, the credit provides additional resources to low-income Californians, while also encouraging them work. When introduced in 2015, the credit was restricted to wage and salary earners as a fraud prevention measure.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The new expansion, which extends eligibility to those earning up to $22,300, is expected to cost $140 million annually. Low income, self-employed Californians will be able to claim the credit when they file their income taxes next spring.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Gonzalez Fletcher agrees that expanding the credit to non-employees is a “really exciting” development. But, she argues, it shouldn’t necessarily serve as a model for how to provide independent contractors with financial security.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“It is an admission that we as a state are going to pick up the slack, that we’re going to supplement the income of the poor,” she said. “In doing that, what level of responsibility are we giving to these companies?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Gonzalez Fletcher has instead introduced a host of bills in the last few years that would grant gig workers new rights and protections, largely at the expense of the companies that hire them. These include proposals to\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1727\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">give\u003c/span>\u003c/a> independent contractors the right to collectively bargain, to\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB206\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">expand\u003c/span>\u003c/a> workers compensation insurance to short-term day laborers, to\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">re-classify\u003c/span>\u003c/a> professional cheerleaders as employees, and to\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1099\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">force\u003c/span>\u003c/a> app-based services to provide a tipping option.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">So far, the results have been mixed. \u003ca href=\"http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/13263516/new-california-law-recognizes-cheerleaders-employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The cheerleader bill was signed into law in 2015\u003c/a>.

The aim: to cover independent contractors regardless of where they work or how many jobs they have.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“Maybe the old employer-employee negotiated benefit model is out of date,” said Hoene of the Budget & Policy Center, who suggests a \"portable benefits\" system might be more appropriate in an economy of freelancers. Rather than tying benefits to a specific job, he describes a “state-sponsored system that workers can port with them as they move from work to non-work, or from one kind of work to another.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">In practice, this might mean that a company would pay for the benefits of its independent contractors in proportion to the hours they work, or that the state might provide the benefits.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The lack of specifics has made the concept of \"portable benefits\" popular with a\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/the-wtf-economy/common-ground-for-independent-workers-83f3fbcf548f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">diverse\u003c/span>\u003c/a> group of labor policy wonks, tech industry leaders, and labor advocates.

But the State Treasurer’s office, which hopes to launch that \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/scib/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Secure Choice”\u003c/a> program by 2019, has yet to decide whether to allow self-employed Californians to opt-in. Meanwhile, a single-payer bill to provide state-funded health insurance to all Californians—employees, contractors, and the unemployed alike—passed the state Senate but stalled out in the Assembly.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Not everyone is convinced that the solution lies in transforming benefits.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\"We need to create a situation where there is not an incentive to use independent contractors to get around labor standards and to avoid paying taxes,\" said Ken Jacobs, chair of the labor research center at UC Berkeley. Rather than reinvent California labor law, he said, state lawmakers should focus on ensuring that workers aren't being wrongly classified as independent contractors.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">For all the focus on the gig workers of the tech industry, as he points out, these on-demand platform workers only make up about 1 percent of the labor force in most of California’s big cities. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">As a whole, independent contractors are a broad mix of workers: lawyers and architects, day laborers and janitors, freelance artists and journalists, and, yes, rideshare drivers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">It's a mix that also includes Tonia McMillian.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">McMillian, who has been operating a childcare center out of her home in Bellflower for the last 24 years, doesn't get paid through an app and doesn't find her clients online. But she is an independent contractor with an unstable salary—a growing concern for her now that she is approaching the end of her working years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\"I woke up one day and realized I have no retirement,\" she said.

But with its income cap of a little over $15,000 for individuals without dependent children, she said the policy “is neither here nor there” for her. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">That, she said, in a country that celebrates entrepreneurs, is a “shame.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org\">\u003ci>CALmatters.org\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003ci> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The expanded credit is the most successful push yet from lawmakers and advocates who want to remake the 20th century social safety net for the 21st century labor force.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gigeconomy]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“We have a lot more activity in our economy in these ‘other’ categories, and we’re leaving those folks behind,” said Chris Hoene, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://calbudgetcenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Budget & Policy Center\u003c/a>, a nonpartisan think tank. “Our traditional definitions of work basically exclude them from the types of support that we provide to other people.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">How many of these \"other\" workers actually exist?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">According to a recent\u003ca href=\"http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/what-do-we-know-about-gig-work-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">study\u003c/span>\u003c/a> from the Center for Labor Research and Education at the University of California, Berkeley, 8.5 percent of California's workforce falls into the category of “unincorporated self-employed.\" Many more Californians work odd jobs on the side—nationwide, an\u003ca href=\"https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/tax-policy/tax-analysis/Documents/WP-114.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">estimated\u003c/span>\u003c/a> 6 percent do that.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Despite all the attention to the boom in on-demand labor platforms like Uber and TaskRabbit, the study’s authors say they actually represent a tiny portion of the “gig economy.” To the contrary, the overall share of self-employed Californians has remained relatively stable over the last two decades.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Still, Silicon Valley’s economic influence—coupled with a decades-long\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/23/385843576/50-years-of-shrinking-union-membership-in-one-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">decline\u003c/span>\u003c/a> in unionization rates, falling pension\u003ca href=\"https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/ssb/v69n3/v69n3p1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">coverage\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, and\u003ca href=\"http://www.healthsystemtracker.org/interactive/?display=As%2520a%2520%2525%2520of%2520GDP&service=Hospitals%252CPhysicians%2520%2526%2520Clinics%252CPrescription%2520Drug\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> \u003cspan class=\"s2\">rising\u003c/span>\u003c/a> health care costs—raises new questions about what workforce protections and benefits should look like for the \"gig economy.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“We’re trying to figure this out before it comes a real issue,” said Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, chair of the Appropriations Committee. “I don’t feel like there’s been enough thought in a lot of circles about the economy that we’re creating and what that will do for the safety net of the state.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The expansion of the earned income tax credit suggests one possible way forward.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">By design, the credit provides additional resources to low-income Californians, while also encouraging them work.

Rather than reinvent California labor law, he said, state lawmakers should focus on ensuring that workers aren't being wrongly classified as independent contractors.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">For all the focus on the gig workers of the tech industry, as he points out, these on-demand platform workers only make up about 1 percent of the labor force in most of California’s big cities. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">As a whole, independent contractors are a broad mix of workers: lawyers and architects, day laborers and janitors, freelance artists and journalists, and, yes, rideshare drivers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">It's a mix that also includes Tonia McMillian.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">McMillian, who has been operating a childcare center out of her home in Bellflower for the last 24 years, doesn't get paid through an app and doesn't find her clients online. But she is an independent contractor with an unstable salary—a growing concern for her now that she is approaching the end of her working years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\"I woke up one day and realized I have no retirement,\" she said.

(California Healthline is an editorially independent publication of the California Health Care Foundation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does not cover some 5.7 million people whose employer-sponsored insurance plans are regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insurers, health care providers and regulators are working furiously behind the scenes to hash out some details about that law, including how much out-of-network providers should be compensated for their services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that shouldn’t affect you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is it going to be pretty as plans and providers figure this out in the background?

Under the law, any communication to the patient from an out-of-network provider before that provider gets the consumer’s in-network cost information must say — in bold, 12-point type — that it is “not a bill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it’s an out-of-network doctor, they shouldn’t be claiming that you owe anything right away,” Imholz says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And don’t pay anything until you receive an Explanation of Benefits from your insurer, experts advise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you do receive it, inspect it.

(California Healthline is an editorially independent publication of the California Health Care Foundation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It does not cover some 5.7 million people whose employer-sponsored insurance plans are regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insurers, health care providers and regulators are working furiously behind the scenes to hash out some details about that law, including how much out-of-network providers should be compensated for their services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that shouldn’t affect you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is it going to be pretty as plans and providers figure this out in the background?
