    Except if you ask anyone that’s ever had to deal with workers comp its always too little too late and a mountain of bullshit. Workers comp is arguably even worse than normal health insurance companies to deal with.

        In theory regular insurance provides the same benefits as worker’s comp and the cost of both come out of paychecks one way or the other.

        Worker’s comp is just insurance with even more steps.

        Workers comp insurance fights about as hard as other insurance companies to fuck you over. My girlfriend ended up rather disabled after an incident at her job and their workman’s comp fight like hell to blame a previously unknown health condition, and the LTD people managed to get out of paying once STD ran out and she didn’t have the money to fight it.

        Insurance is insurance, and fuck them all.
