I have a serious question to ask.
In the state of Ohio Workers Compensation is mandatory for all businesses to provide for employees. The same for West Virginia. Ohio is Single Payer by the state. Wv is private. Both are very efficient. If someone is hurt at work and files a comp claim they immediatly must take a drug test to be eligible. In other words if you are doing somethng detrimental to your health and get hurt at work your claim will be denied. This is for both single payer and private. Would something like this be acceptable in whatever form the healthcare reforms will take? Should drug related health problems or obesity related problems be punished?
Please don't bash me on this, I'm genuinely curious. Especially since this is the case already with Workers comp in both sectors.
