Mind you, for light manufacturing the combined tax is probably 3% of the gross wages, so it isn't cheap.
What you are saying is that you have the same system most states have. At about the same expense.

No "gold plated" care, no awards for pain and suffering, or loss of enjoyment of life, and payroll funded.

I don't understand how there could be no lawyers involved

(I'm actually serious about that, it's a legal contest, why would an employer or employee want to go though the legal system without guidance and advice)

What do you mean when you say "none of this **** gets pulled?" No fraud or abuse?
