Why is this important?
The US Dept's of LABOR and OSHA have told us our broken state workers compensation systems are adding to our income inequality in America today. An injured worker should not get only 35k for an amputated arm in one state, while in another state the same amputated arm gets 750K!
Those are disparities we need to address and med for all or universal health care by itself, does not address our issue. We were left out of the M4A bill in Sec. 801 that rightly excludes us. For we have our own DEAL called the Grand Bargain, and that Bargain our own US Congressional Service is now telling us all is in need of some min fed oversight over. Just like we have a fed min wage.
