Just last evening, I attended a business to business networking event in Ft. Lauderdale, and everyone I spoke to about my idea for medical travel in work comp agreed that it was needed. Yet, as you said, the old guard attacks any new idea. Like you, I am not a fan of opt-out because you convinced me not to drink the kool-aid just yet, but if we are wrong about opt-out, then adding medical travel will only further provide better outcomes at lower cost to the employer.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."rkrasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767920719114131892noreply@blogger.com
