S...How would Winston Churchill frame the question? Something like: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."<br /><br />We need to remember that injured workers in the 1800s didn't have financial support for medical treatment and lost time, and our current system, though flawed, is a huge improvement over those days. Employees receive benefits regardless of fault, which is a good deal since a significant majority of injuries result solely from employees' own actions.<br /><br />Consider an auto accident. The injured person has to manage and pay for his own medical care, and use his own sick or vacation to cover lost time. If the auto accident is in the course and scope of employment, the employee has support and resources to help access appropriate medical care (at no cost) and he receives tax-free temporary disability for lost time. The resources may not be perfect, but they're there, so why the entitlement mentality?<br /><br />It's time to start looking at real, workable solutions, and recognize that everyone will need to step up to contribute. We can blame whoever we want for where we are now, but if we stay here, it's our own fault.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620963422848771143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-27662788578145288072014-09-15T09:39:50.045-07:002014-09-15T09:39:50.045-07:00I would like to see an article of how were treatin...I would like to see an article of how were treating the mental health of the Victims of this unconstitutional abuse? For Im finding two different schools of thought on the subject, on how we go about treating folks who are truly victims of an oppressive ruling elite class. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682181549172380545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-47857773977361229862014-09-15T09:32:11.110-07:002014-09-15T09:32:11.110-07:00I don't think the State has a monopoly.

And I would use the word racket over monopoly. <br /><br />If WorkComp is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, as the Judge said.
