I really get peeved when I hear the backers of this initiative talk about how Workers' Compensation insurance should have competition...for me, workers' comp should be about the worker, not about the profit. Hopefully the AIG angle works.
This initiative is such an obvious scam, it's amazing it made it to the ballot. The signature gatherers must have either told some real whoppers, or they only gathered from Mercer, Vashon & Bainbridge. It's a classic "Capital Steals from Labor" hustle. I'm surprised Mudede hasn't jumped all over it. Any time an insurance company gets involved in public policy, you can be certain that lies, theft & extortion are soon to follow.
But it's privileged, so I can't. Sorry.
