Did you even read the article? The BIAW is actually the only line of defense between you and the ever corrupt Wash. L&I.
And come on now is this the very first campaign season you have ever witnessed. Well, this is how it works, political groups slander one another to throw up smoke and mud drag the opposition to try and steal your vote.

BIAW is only out to protect employer's not workers or citizenz from L&I.  And there are many many groups like them.  I actually work for one.  BIAW has a large staff that works on getting worker's claims rejected, attempting to get surgeries and treatment denied.  They make their money by saving their clients (employers) money on premiums.  They do this by making sure claims cost as little as possible.  Their clients premiums are pooled together, if the claims costs are lower than premiums they get a refund of that amount.  They keep a percentage, and the employers get a persentage.  The worker's get nothing even if they have a perfect safety record.  Some individual employers will reward people for being safe but that is their choice.  If BIAW had their way private insurance companies would manage L&I claims.  Businesses want this but trust me even if you have had a bad experience with L&I it is nothing compared with what it would be dealing with a private insurer that had profits as their bottom line.
