Good article pointing out the faults in the workers comp bill. One thing I would add, having been through the grueling battle, is that the managers at every work place be held responsible for health and safety on the job, and if a worker dies on the job or is injured, then IF management is found lax in their responsibility to provide a healthy and safe workplace, then criminal charges can be brought against them. If there is no penalty for injury or death, and the worker is covered by single payer, then why should the boss make necessary adjustments to prevent such injuries? It just would eat into their greedy thirst for profits!
