    Again in theiry the difference is workman’s comp still provides a service whereas other than rent seeking I am not sure what us health insurers do.

      In theory regular insurance provides the same benefits as worker’s comp and the cost of both come out of paychecks one way or the other.

      Worker’s comp is just insurance with even more steps.

          Workman’s comp isn’t just covering hospital bills, it also covers lost wages while recovering or retaining if you can’t go back to your old profession.
