Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I would feel certain that all the undocumented workers who did the grunt work after Katrina feel just as outraged from the situation as everyone else who have been made ill from environmental toxins with little regard for human life. From a humanitarian standpoint, I am glad to see that these human beings that were working dark age conditions were able to obtain some justice for the total disregard for human life. Maybe it will send a message that human life, no matter whose it is, has value not to be disregarded. But, what about the US citizens of Libby, Montana? Where is their justice? Where is the accountability for their illnesses and ours? Why are we, as taxpayers, paying for the wrongs of industry over and over and over again?

Medical Experts Prescribe Legislation to Help Prevent Cancer June 2009 _http://world-wire.com/news/0906150001.html_ (http://world-wire.com/news/0906150001.html) This is no longer an esoteric debate between those who wear Birkenstocks and those who wear $7000 suits. This is reality. If we, as a society, do not get control of this, then we are doomed as nation to have our children be chronically ill and 32 cents of every dollar go for useless healthcare...while we turn a blind eye to what is destroying our nation.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 In my case, UnitedHealth Care was in collusion with NYS WC and Unum to deny cases. That's why I may try to get something done through the RICO act, if possible.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 " WE " didn't give them anything - they went thru the system & fought just like we all are trying to do. The ones who are at fault are the employers who hire illegals, pay them dirt wages & fail to adhere to basic safety regulations. If there weren't jobs, even low paying as they are, the illegals wouldn't come. I live in the upper midwest & was amazed to see a billboard advertizing jobs " for all " from a company 1 mile from my home at the Arizona-Mexican border. The fact that they won had nothing to do with how we are all doing in our cases. I'm glad someone wins once in awhile. > > THIS IS IT!!! I'VE HAD IT!!!
