Workers' Compensation was an insurance fund financed by employers.
The only answer one can give on this is 'it depends'. Usually it is more expensive than homeowners insurace, but less than workers compensation or liability insurance on a roofing contractor.
The Federal Government is the single largest employer in the US. As of January 2009, the Federal Government, excluding the Postal Service and soldiers, employed about 2.0 million civilian workers. The US labor force is about 150 million workers, so about 1 worker in 75 works for the Federal Government.
In Socialism, the State or Central Government decides all in regards to business and production. Under a system of social ownership, means of production including the amount workers are paid, who they sell to and any other business decisions are the responsibility to the government.
A company opens a new factory and employs more workers.
Private Insurance, Government Plans, Managed Care Plans, Workers Compensation are all third party payers.
Unfortunately, under current laws, you cannot find one insurance carrier that can sell workers' compensation insurance in all 50 states. This is because five states (Ohio, West Virginia, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Washington) have monopolistic state funds. In these states, employers must buy their workers' compensation insurance directly from a fund that is run by the state government, and private insurance companies are not allowed to compete and sell insurance. Therefore, the maximum number of states in which any private insurance carrier could possibly sell workers' compensation insurance is 45.
You should buy private medical insurance at any time that it works for you. As health care expenses soar, companies are shifting a large percentage to their workers.

Other career options for social workers include teaching, research, and consulting. Some of these workers also help formulate government policies by analyzing and advocating policy positions in government agencies, in research institutions, and on legislators' staffs. Some social workers go into private practice. Most private practitioners are clinical social workers who provide psychotherapy, usually paid for through health insurance or by the client themselves. Private practitioners must have at least a master's degree and a period of supervised work experience. A network of contacts for referrals also is essential. Many private practitioners split their time between working for an agency or hospital and working in their private practice.

No, for Worker's Compensation, South Dakota is an NCCI state.Employers must meet their Workers Compensation obligations by purchasing insurance from a private insurance company, or be authorized to self-insure.
No. Private health insurance was originated by companies to attract workers and its been more than 120+ years or so since. Reality is private coverage is always better..opnionwise it will always be better than obamacare.
As of 7/1/2008, there are 4 states in which the workers' compensation system is considered "monopolistic". This means that the individual state sets rates and operates a state administered fund of workers compensation insurance, vs. the coverage being written in a competitive market by private insurers. Currently the only monopolistic states are North Dakota, Ohio, Washington and Wyoming.
Texas is the only state were an employee does not have to have workers' comp insurance. Instead they can have a private accident insurance plan. But they must have one or the other. AN employer can exclude contract employees from coverage under their plan (at least in Texas). I forget the exact number, but I know if an employer is a small company, I think it may be under 15, then they don't have to have workers comp or an accident plan.
