Don't encourage him, gaijindabe.

FastPat pasted an article about a private insurance company raking in dough and using questionable accounting. Yawn.

My state has effectively resisted "three way" bills that are dropped each year. The private insurance industry would LOVE to come in and skim the worker comp insurance market. Write policies in industries that don't make claims. Leave the taxpayer to underwrite the expensive industries. Yeah, baby.

Also in Washington State, workers cannot sue employers for workplace injuries. Employers have two options. They can self-insure, or they can pay into the state plan. Either way, they cannot be sued. Premiums area based on the industry, and the employer's actual experience rating (claims history).

Darned liberals.
