On one hand, I appreciate the spirit of this ruling. It's meant to prevent companies from outsourcing their core business to "freelancers" who are really people who do all the work of normal employees, minus healthcare, retirement, job stability, etc. and force the state to cover these things in part. On the other hand, it's getting increasingly difficult to tell who is freelancing because they prefer that setup and are secure with it vs. who is freelancing because the market for stable, good jobs cratered in their industry.
