It is insane. Workers comp is a racket. I've seen employers whose workers comp ran 50% of their qualifying wages. The motivation is to just run the risk of not carrying it. And it promotes payroll tax noncompliance, since it is based on payroll.

Has there been any discussion in the reforming SS talk regarding reforming SS disability? How will Bush's proposed changes impact SS disability, if at all?

It is a good question. I don't know the answer to it.

what state are you in and why can't you get so called 'cost effective' work comp insurance? In california by default you have to have state compensation insurance,,,,,which is in fact, a private company. Sure if you have high risk employees who might fall off a combine and lose an arm or a leg.(i don't know what the default death benefit is any more)....of.. course you will pay more work comp insurance. it only has to happen once....
