just as the new presidency promised….less spending in government. Oh wait, my bad….more of our money going to large expense accounts, unnecessary trips & private jet fuel bills.
You know a representative from CA knows just how to reform the system. I bet he wants to model it after CA. Look out. I love the use of the word equitable. How ironic!
What a dumb idea. WC operates very well without Fed intervention. Let’s see: They have screwed up social security; the flood program; medicare; banks; mortgage business and everything else. Now they want to screw this up too! The reason is because they are stupid arrogant fools.
Those who voted for Obama are expecting Federalist moves over State’s rights and those who voted agaist Obama are expecting moves towards centralized control at the Federal level of commerce and anything that moves in this country.
This is called devouring the elephant a bite at a time, albeit a very large bite.
COme on now, don’t we have enough problems and situations on our plate then to tackle something like this – such foolishness, we sure as heck don’t need more Reg’s by the Fed’s they can’t handle what they have now, providing they even understand it. We have had reform in CA, injured worker is treated much better today than in yore! let’s put our effort, time and money(?) into fixing our economy, keeping people in their homes, jobs etc……Gee! where does Baca think the money is coming from? someone has to pay these folks! get real
WC is an antiquated system that’s subject to abuse, particularly in large metro areas like NYC. The “pension cases” are on the rise and it’s interesting to see how many occur around retirement age. The amount of compensation in many cases is equal to what the alleged injured person makes to begin with. It creates an incentive to malinger. Since the system can’t reform itself, somebody needs to make a critical analysis of it. The founding logic of preventing workers from suing their employers needs to be re-visited. Workers who are injured becasue of their own stupidity, clumsiness, or are recalcitrant don’t deserve to be compensated.
How many businesses have suffered from California’s Workers Comp Program? It would figure that a Democrat from California would come up with a bright idea like having the Federal Government regulate the state’s efficient programs. After all hasn’t the Federal Government done a wonderful job in regulating the Banks and handling the Bail outs? How about putting Barney Franks in charge?
Wouldn’t you agree he has done a great job with Fannie May and Freddie Mack, and look what a great job he is done with banks. He even made sure his bank was well taken care on the backs of the American Taxpayers.
A case can cetainly be nmade that if you are careless or stupid as an employee you shhouldn’t be entitled to compenation. Hwever the same case can be made that is an employer is careless or stupid they should be subject to suits and unlimited judgements based on facts. They shouldn’t be protected. The system is designed for this very reason. I hate the thought of fed intervention but there needs to be reasonable quid pro quo. LEt’s hope the states get a bit moere serious about this subject as ther are huge variances between them that are out of line with the intent of a no fault system.
I just sit here and wonder what caused Joe Baca to decide he needed to get involved and that he could “fix things”?
Different States have different laws. Different states have different LAWMAKERS. Don’t like your state laws?? Move!!!! Or commuicate with your elected lawmakers! The Federal Government has it’s lawmakers. These employees of the Federal Government, like Joe Baca, need to butt out!!!!!!!! Just do your job and shut up!!!!!!!!!
We are back to Obama….look at one week has done!!!!!
More beauracracy! Yeah!

Finally, right now their first response is DENY DENY DENY

Obviously, more of an effort to line up the Communist drones
