Injured workers have been under a vicious corporate insurance attack in California that has prevented them from getting their injuries taken care of in a timely fashion. Governor Brown and his supporters have set up an obstacle course called Independent Medical Reviews that stall getting injuries treated. Workers then have to fight to get medication to deal with the pain that injured workers have. Doctors who subscribe opiates are then blamed for a rise in addiction among California injured workers.
The rise of opiate addiction among injured workers is a direct result of Governor Brown/DIR Director Christine Baker's SB 863 which prevents workers from getting their injuries taken care of promptly and the use of corrupt companies like Maximus to use anonymous doctors to make medical determinations. Governor Brown and DIR director Christine Baker gave a $40 million no bid contract to Maximus to contract out state work on making determinations on care for California injured workers.
Come to this hearing and speak out about the corruption and failure of the state to take care of injured workers and blaming doctors for oversubscribing opiates because the insurance controlled Governor Brown, the CHSWC and DIR Director Christine Baker are representing the bosses and insurance companies rather than injured workers.
