    Free from federal regulations?

    What happens when you have to go see the company doctor who has been paid by the townā€™s management to ignore your health issue when that issue was caused by the townā€™s negligence. Maybe the town uses chemicals that are known to be toxic, or has eroded safety standards. Theyā€™re already trying to neuter workplace safety laws federally.

    Americans just go smooth brained at the mention of freedom. This isnā€™t freedom.

      Why pay a doctor to ignore it when you can just not allow him the knowledge what youā€™re doing to everyone for free? Or just have a general threat to all employees that you canā€™t blame the company for any wrongdoing?

        The doctor is really just an HR guy who decides how long youā€™ve got left and when they need to put up a new req.
