subsidiaries...
The State of Washington likes to investigate. They probably are no different than any other State in that respect. That is what they call it... investigation. Compliance and enforcement leads to modes of investigation and one medium for application is surveillance. They love surveillance. It gives them purpose. They hire people who survey and prioritize the aspects of enforcement over the needs of providing social service. They call that accountability. These surveillancers are not the highest quality of individuals. They crave the power of authority. They like to hide. They like the undercover aspect of the enforcement life. They get to play Serpico all over again. They have psychological deficiencies from childhood traumas and they are perfect for the job. They get off on the application of punishment. They love the leverage the State gives them. They like to threaten. They love the security of hiding behind the badge though it is a plastic one. When forced to confront, they shake because they are exposed and that makes them vulnerable. They are validated by law, so they see no fault in their character. They watch all the available reruns of Law and Order and dream of meglamaniacal grandeur and during commercial breaks, jump to whatever is on Fox News. They get paid and have benefits and retirement.
The State of Washington subsidizes the insurance industry. They compensate work men and work women injured and deemed unable to work by doctors on the State's preferred list just enough to hand it over to the insurance company for continuation of COBRA, who is not paying for any medical expenses associated with the injury. The tax payer does that. Socialized Corporate windfall is obviously preferred.
The State of Washington promotes alcoholism. They prefer a claimant to sit all day at a bar and spend their compensation drinking rather than attempting to contribute as a functioning member of society. If the surveillancers catch them doing anything but drinking heavily in a bar, specifically doing something that looks like work even they are not getting paid, they punish them with discontinuances and fines and label them fraudulent even though they are still recovering from surgury. Even though they have performed all the required rehabilitations and tests and retests while awaiting State decisions on continuance, the issue is all about the punishment.
The State subsidizes doctors, the ones that prescribe State funded surgeries and MRI's and physical therapies and pharmaceuticals who lead the injured to believe they need to find another line of work, for they are incapable of continuing in their once sustainable job. The State reimburses the doctors' for their efforts. When confronted by the surveillancers, the doctors fold and run for cover, agreeing the accused is definitely at fault. They don't want off the list.
The State of Washington subsidizes lawyers, the ones that are guaranteed 30% of whatever they keep the State from taking back from the accused. So if the accused owes the State $10,000 and the lawyer negotiates the back payment to $4,000, the accused gets to pay the State the $4,000 and the lawyer $1,800 of the $6,000 that was saved.
It's a good gig if you can get it.
