  1. I understand California is in the same situation. The situation is in dire need of reform. We all want workers comp for those times that someone is severly injured. I started out painting billboards. When a friend fell, everyone rejoiced that he was taken care of. Last year however, a friend fell ten feet off of a ladder hitting his head. The care that he has received has been as if there were no limits. His hospital bill is now close to half million dollars and he is still facing another operation to fix some hearing damages. I do not wish his care was any less than what it is however, it is obvious that to every care provider in the loop, cost seems to be no object. There does not appear to be any incentive to control costs. No request is denied. This is the system that we have in place. The wolf seems to be in charge of the chicken coop. We all look at the whole workers comp/health insurance industry in awe right up until someone we care about gets hurt. Is there really any answers? I do not think so short of socialized medicine. Even still, understanding why we have workers comp in the first place, free medical care is not going to alleviate the cost to employers. Difficult situation all around. I expect it will get more challenging before it gets any less.
  2. I think if I were you, I would be forming two different companies so that you only pay the high comp on the installers.
  3. Incredible. Thank you to all that are sharing. I fabricated and installed for 20 years but now subcontract everything. Your sharing allows me to better keep abreast of what you are facing and why you ask for what you ask.
