Some years ago I was a staff attorney for the USW. At that time, in the 70s, there was no private option for the legally-required purchase of workers compensation insurance. It was all, and may still be, public workers compensation insurance only, in West Virginia, and some other states. This may be worthy of mention as a talking point, at least, in our current fight for a public option for health care insurance.
