Thank you for your comments. That is what is great about our nation. We can all have our own opinions and express them freely. I don't know if you read all my comments or just the first one, but I do believe you have misread me. If you read them all in order, you would see I am not against helping the honest hard working person who actually gets injured on the job, I believe they need to be taken care of much better than they are now. I believe the Work Comp system is definately not perfect, a long shot from it. My beef is with the people who abuse the system and that makes it harder for the people who actually need the system as companies try to separate the wheat from the chaff. I do stand by my comments about entitlements. Too many people believe someone owes them a living or a big payout or a monthly stipend. This is what is dragging our country down. Now, do I think that a truly injured worker is getting an entitlement? Absolutely not. If they are injured on the job, it is their right to seek reimbursement for lost wages and medical care. I just think the lady in this article, in my own opinion, is on the entitlement wagon.

Marion, I am sure you are a liberal, and I am a conservative, so we will never see eye to eye on many social issues, but that is ok. It is just nice we can both coexist without thinking we have to bomb each others houses or seek retribution because we have different ideas on how our society works. May you have a great day.
