GRANNY.
Originally posted by RedmikeThis isn't the same thing as universal insurance. This is worker's compensation. If you are injured on the job in the US your employer is required to provide insurance for that.
There is a basic assumption here that everyone knows how things work in the US.
My point isn't one of boneheadedness, but certain posters here argue strongly that the free market is always the answer. So, I'm surprised to see them advocate a state-controlled solution here.
