Workers’ Compensation ReformCHAMBER
PRIORITYWorkers' Compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment. Alaska businesses pay some of the highest costs for Workers' Compensation insurance in the nation, and legislative reforms have been proposed to reduce those costs.
The business community supports reforms to Workers’ Compensation because they will bring the cost of insurance in Alaska to be more in line with the costs incurred in other states.
The healthcare community does not support reforms, saying the reforms will decrease the benefits for injured workers.
What is your opinion? Do you support or oppose workers' compensation reform?

“…one key issue has consistently remained a priority for more than 20 years, both when the state was flush with cash from high oil prices and when it was struggling through economic recession: the need for a sustainable fiscal plan focused on Alaska’s future.”
