I know so many others who are just out of business because of it and all their employees are out of jobs also. It is such a sad, sad situation of huge corporate greed tied in with the rich elite and politicians. Not many people in this country do anything for the country and people but only for money and more money. It worst than a crack addiction where they don't care about anything or anyone except More until everything thing is destroyed! There needs to be an option for employers and employees. Option 1, provide small business owners group health insurance so that they can provide medical insurance for the employees and the employer and employee split the cost. Option 2, provide workers comp. and the only people who really benefit are insurance companies, lawyers, and the medical field with very little paid out the employee in the end. And at end-they have no job and still no medical insurance. It's not that difficult to make happen, if it wasn't for the addiction of money and greed of the few.

It does seem out of line for them to make sure they add additional amendments to the bill after they have done so, and know its going before session for a vote.

They don't vote on commissioners because they will actually be trying cases before them (makes sense), and they actually have input on the legislation because they are well versed in it - makes sense too. I would see the same actions by a worker's comp defense attorney in the legislature (if there are any) as completely appropriate...or wait, le'me guess, are any proworkers comp Senators she not vote on this bill. Should any Senator's who own small businesses or have to pay worker's comp premiums recuse themselves from voting? Hardly. Don't forget Sen. Tommy Moore's is in a business where he probably pays some of the higherst worker's comp coverage rates around - I don't think that means he shouldn't vote on this bill, actually that makes him (like an attorney who works on either side of this issue) a perfectly knowlegable person to have input in and vote on this bill.
