Magazine review finds problems in workers comp reform
Consumer Reports cautions that 1990s state laws weakened workers compensation. The report notes insurer approved doctors limit care, caps on benefits, and reduced benefits as insurers and employers cut costs. It cites over 20 percent drop in benefits paid and premiums relative to payroll from 1992 to 1996, while acknowledging safety gains and fewer dangerous jobs.
