I know someone in the midwest that contracted Tularemia a few years ago. All of the circumstances surrounding it have always been suspicious to me. He nearly died and is now permanently disabled. He never came in contact with rabbits. He was a landscaper, but only worked on established lawns. The family never filed a workers' compensation claim (which they certainly should have tried if they believe it was contracted on the job).


There you go again, wanting somebody else to pay because somebody got sick?? That is why the government doesn't want to supply vacines. When will people realize that if they get sick, the government is not responsible and in most cases the Doctor is not either. When this country gets decent tort reform and stop such lawyers as john edwards, we can have real vacines and decent hospital and doctor costs. When the doctors have to pay thousands of dollars for insurance, who pays????????????????? YOU DO! We have to stop all the ludicous law suits against Doctors who are trying to help you, sure some are crooks, but most aren't, and because of that we pay too high of a premium to get decent Doctor's care. When will we learn, stop all the stupid law suits, then Doctor's fees will be managable.

What are you talking about? Workers' Compensation is insurance for people who get sick or hurt at work, it has nothing to do with lawsuits except in the cases of disputed claims. Or are you saying that all employees should provide their own health insurance, including for injuries or diseases contracted at the workplace?
