Will Amazon pay for their expensive hospital stays?
- vonmoltke 8y agoI would assume this is coming out of their worker's comp insurance.
- scintill76 8y ago> All the Amazon employees were covered by employer-provided healthcare
- dragonwriter 8y ago> All the Amazon employees were covered by employer-provided healthcare Which (unless they have a weird hybrid regular health insurance + workers comp plan, which I've never heard of but might theoretically exist, especially if they self-insure for both functions) is probably immaterial, since it'll be Amazon’s workers comp plan, not the employees' regular health insurance (no matter who pays for it), that will be involved here.
- dragonwriter 8y agoSince employers are generally strictly liable for workplace injuries (a liability they manage via worker's compensation insurance, either purchased or self-administered), yes, almost certainly.
