Hey don’t be mad just because the “women” you’re complaining about are both more skilled and better paid that you are.
Yeah except most people don’t have the money to put aside tens of thousands of dollars in case of a health emergency.
I’m not defending insurance company practices in our current health care system by any means, but it does serve a purpose. Without any insurance, most working class people would just get financially obliterated in an emergency situation. And honestly, those without insurance do. But eliminating all insurers wouldn’t lower prices to the point that care, especially emergency care, would be affordable for most people.
It’s a really complicated problem with no easy answers.
Safety practice adherence doesn’t matter, all that matters is that it was work related.
You should definitely pursue work comp. They will deny you, you will have to appeal. Maybe multiple times. Most people in my line of work (firefighter/paramedic) get lawyers in case of a major injury, because work comp will deny, deny, and stick it to you every way they can to avoid paying. But if you stick with it and jump through all their stupid hoops and fill out all of their stupid paperwork correctly they usually have to pay.
