His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. 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.",

"content": "\u003cp>The Senate vote on the health care bill has been pushed back, but it still has a lot of people in the nursing home industry worried. About two-thirds of nursing home residents are paid for by Medicaid. And the Congressional Budget Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/52849-hr1628senate.pdf\">found\u003c/a> that the Senate health care bill would cut Medicaid by more than $770 billion over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could mean trouble for people like 88-year-old Betty Redlin. She's lived at the \u003ca href=\"http://victoriacarecenter.com/\">Victoria Care Center\u003c/a> in Ventura, Calif. for about 2 1/2 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She explains that she fell and broke her hip and never regained her ability to walk. \"I was living with my granddaughter,\" she says, \"and my doctor won't [allow] going back to her place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betty had a career as a bookkeeper. She also raised three children. Now she's spent everything she had. There's no way she could afford the roughly $80,000 a year this nursing home costs. (That fee is pretty standard for nursing homes.) So it's Medicaid that enables her to stay here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's nothing I can do about it,\" she says. \"It's gotta be [Medicaid] or [I'm] out on the street. One or the other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/534764940/534764941\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Gardner, executive director of the Victoria Care Center, says that most of the long-term care residents like Redlin are on Medicaid or, as it's called in California, Medi-Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at what it costs to provide that service and what we get from Medi-Cal, we're actually losing a little bit of money every day on that.\" He says they make up the difference with short-term residents who have Medicare, which pays more than Medicaid does. Private pay patients also pay more than Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gardner says he's an optimist. Whatever Congress does, he doesn't think that Victoria Care Center would close down, though there might have to be cuts in staff and in the costs of food and supplies. Also, Gardner says that Victoria Care Center is part of a chain of 200 facilities, which could cushion the blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is as optimistic as he is. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ahcancal.org/Pages/Default.aspx\">American Health Care Association\u003c/a> (AHCA), a national trade group for nursing homes, the current Senate bill's cuts to Medicaid could mean that a typical nursing home would eventually run deficits of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. James Gomez is the CEO of The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahf.org/\">California Association of Health Facilities\u003c/a>, the AHCA's California chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"mrVakER0R6f0AToNbkAK83dprja2VTaO\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you can't break even or make a few dollars, you're not going to keep running your business,\" says Gomez. And that could lead to closures. \"So access [to nursing home beds] will become a huge issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The repercussions of cuts and closures would be felt across the nation's health care system, says Katie Smith Sloan, the president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leadingage.org/\">Leading Age\u003c/a>, which represents non-profit nursing homes and other services for older adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People who are in nursing homes are there because they need the kind of services that a nursing home provides\" says Sloan. \"Without those services, they'll be forced to get that kind of care in a hospital, which will simply increase costs to Medicare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reining in Medicaid has been on conservatives' to-do list for a long time. House Speaker Paul Ryan has said he's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/20/paul-ryan-has-wanted-to-reform-medicaid-since-his-frat-days.html\">dreamed of it\u003c/a> since his college days. Robert Moffit, a senior fellow in health policy studies at the conservative \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritage.org/\">Heritage Foundation\u003c/a>, argues that the program isn't being used as intended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do we want Medicaid, which was a program designed for the poor and the indigent, to become a kind of backdoor mechanism to establish a middle class entitlement for long-term care? Medicaid was never really intended to do that,\" says Moffit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate bill is likely to change. But leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that Medicaid cuts will still be part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

About two-thirds of nursing home residents are paid for by Medicaid. And the Congressional Budget Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/52849-hr1628senate.pdf\">found\u003c/a> that the Senate health care bill would cut Medicaid by more than $770 billion over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could mean trouble for people like 88-year-old Betty Redlin. She's lived at the \u003ca href=\"http://victoriacarecenter.com/\">Victoria Care Center\u003c/a> in Ventura, Calif. for about 2 1/2 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She explains that she fell and broke her hip and never regained her ability to walk. \"I was living with my granddaughter,\" she says, \"and my doctor won't [allow] going back to her place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betty had a career as a bookkeeper. She also raised three children. Now she's spent everything she had. There's no way she could afford the roughly $80,000 a year this nursing home costs. (That fee is pretty standard for nursing homes.) So it's Medicaid that enables her to stay here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's nothing I can do about it,\" she says. \"It's gotta be [Medicaid] or [I'm] out on the street. One or the other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Private pay patients also pay more than Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gardner says he's an optimist. Whatever Congress does, he doesn't think that Victoria Care Center would close down, though there might have to be cuts in staff and in the costs of food and supplies. Also, Gardner says that Victoria Care Center is part of a chain of 200 facilities, which could cushion the blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is as optimistic as he is. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ahcancal.org/Pages/Default.aspx\">American Health Care Association\u003c/a> (AHCA), a national trade group for nursing homes, the current Senate bill's cuts to Medicaid could mean that a typical nursing home would eventually run deficits of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. James Gomez is the CEO of The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cahf.org/\">California Association of Health Facilities\u003c/a>, the AHCA's California chapter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you can't break even or make a few dollars, you're not going to keep running your business,\" says Gomez. And that could lead to closures. \"So access [to nursing home beds] will become a huge issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The repercussions of cuts and closures would be felt across the nation's health care system, says Katie Smith Sloan, the president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.leadingage.org/\">Leading Age\u003c/a>, which represents non-profit nursing homes and other services for older adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People who are in nursing homes are there because they need the kind of services that a nursing home provides\" says Sloan. \"Without those services, they'll be forced to get that kind of care in a hospital, which will simply increase costs to Medicare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reining in Medicaid has been on conservatives' to-do list for a long time. House Speaker Paul Ryan has said he's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/20/paul-ryan-has-wanted-to-reform-medicaid-since-his-frat-days.html\">dreamed of it\u003c/a> since his college days. Robert Moffit, a senior fellow in health policy studies at the conservative \u003ca href=\"http://www.heritage.org/\">Heritage Foundation\u003c/a>, argues that the program isn't being used as intended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do we want Medicaid, which was a program designed for the poor and the indigent, to become a kind of backdoor mechanism to establish a middle class entitlement for long-term care? Medicaid was never really intended to do that,\" says Moffit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate bill is likely to change. But leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that Medicaid cuts will still be part of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

If there were to be any cuts to it, it would significantly impact us,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many counties in the rural West, Imperial County is nearly 50 percent federal land (\u003ca href=\"http://i.imgur.com/eYT1svW.jpg\">California is 45 percent\u003c/a>). But the county is still responsible for responding to police, fire and medical calls there, running search-and-rescue missions for people who get lost, and taking out trash. Unlike private landowners, the federal government pays no taxes to support the county services provided on its lands. That's where PILT comes in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sheriff spends a lot of time on public land,\" Terrazas-Baxter said, especially in the popular off-roading area Glamis Sand Dunes. Over a holiday weekend, the area can draw up to 40,000 people -- in a county of less than 200,000. She says the county needs PILT money to help keep federal lands safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Southern California, Imperial County is most dependent on PILT. Riverside and San Bernardino counties also receive about $3.3 million each from the program, but they are less dependent on the funding because they are larger, more urban and have a more diversified tax base. Each county's budget is more than $5.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed cuts to PILT are even more significant in light of a proposal to eliminate an additional source of federal funding to rural areas: the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fs.usda.gov/pts/\">Secure Rural Schools \u003c/a>program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program, which funds local education, road building and other basic services in areas \u003ca href=\"https://www.idahoednews.org/news/federal-funding-chopped-budget-cuts-hit-timber-country/\">hit-hard by the decline in logging on public lands\u003c/a>, expired in 2015 and Trump's proposed budget does not re-authorize it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's these sparsely populated, rural counties with large amounts of public land that stand to lose the most if PILT is cut, said Mark Haggerty, an economist with Headwaters Economics, a nonpartisan economic research firm in Bozeman, Montana. He\u003ca href=\"https://headwaterseconomics.org/county-payments/policy-options/presidents-budget-cuts-county-payments/\"> mapped the impact of the proposed federal payment cuts on every county\u003c/a>. He has been working with counties in rural Idaho that are staring down a loss of 40 percent of their budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, those are areas like Trinity, Siskiyou and Plumas counties in the northern part of the state.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the county is still responsible for responding to police, fire and medical calls there, running search-and-rescue missions for people who get lost, and taking out trash. Unlike private landowners, the federal government pays no taxes to support the county services provided on its lands. That's where PILT comes in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sheriff spends a lot of time on public land,\" Terrazas-Baxter said, especially in the popular off-roading area Glamis Sand Dunes. Over a holiday weekend, the area can draw up to 40,000 people -- in a county of less than 200,000. She says the county needs PILT money to help keep federal lands safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Southern California, Imperial County is most dependent on PILT. Riverside and San Bernardino counties also receive about $3.3 million each from the program, but they are less dependent on the funding because they are larger, more urban and have a more diversified tax base. Each county's budget is more than $5.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed cuts to PILT are even more significant in light of a proposal to eliminate an additional source of federal funding to rural areas: the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fs.usda.gov/pts/\">Secure Rural Schools \u003c/a>program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program, which funds local education, road building and other basic services in areas \u003ca href=\"https://www.idahoednews.org/news/federal-funding-chopped-budget-cuts-hit-timber-country/\">hit-hard by the decline in logging on public lands\u003c/a>, expired in 2015 and Trump's proposed budget does not re-authorize it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's these sparsely populated, rural counties with large amounts of public land that stand to lose the most if PILT is cut, said Mark Haggerty, an economist with Headwaters Economics, a nonpartisan economic research firm in Bozeman, Montana. He\u003ca href=\"https://headwaterseconomics.org/county-payments/policy-options/presidents-budget-cuts-county-payments/\"> mapped the impact of the proposed federal payment cuts on every county\u003c/a>. He has been working with counties in rural Idaho that are staring down a loss of 40 percent of their budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, those are areas like Trinity, Siskiyou and Plumas counties in the northern part of the state.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We were just messing around,” he says. “I got shafted so hard. They made an example of me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He got expelled, wound up in Juvenile Hall, and went to a continuation school. He tried to make the best of a bad situation, plowing through schoolwork. But the experience made him lose faith in institutions like public schools and the justice system.
