IT'S LIKE I ALWAYS SAY..WC IS A BUSINESS! THEY'RE IN IT TO MAKE A
PROFIT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE! THE IRONIC THING IS..WE GAVE UP OUR
RIGHT TO SUE THEM SO THAT IN RETURN WE'D THE PROPER MEDICAL
TREATMENT AND COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OF INCOME. WHAT WE DIDN'T SIGN
UP FOR WAS THEIR CONSTANT DENIALS, HEARINGS, U/R'S, DELAYS,
STALLING, IME'S, HARASSMENT, AND JUST FLAT OUT B.S!!!!!

I AGREE WITH MOST OF WHAT YOU SAID. I THINK THE SHAME LIES IN THE
FACT THAT OUR GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS KNOW THE ATROCITIES
BEING COMMITTED BY THESE IC'S, YET CHOOSE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY!!!
