What is happening to this man is illegal. The insurance company provides "Workers Compensation Insurance". It is government regulated and controlled. The government removes the legal and medical and legal rights from an injured worker leaving the insurance company completely in control of any wage loss benefits or medical care for injuries. This was known in Canada as the "Historic Compromise" and in the U.S. as the "Exclusive Remedy" It was meant to protect Corporations from bankrupticies and to ensure the working men and women of North America would receive wage loss and medical care for injuries, in exchange the working man gave up the right to sue. Successive legislation removed more rights and we are in an unfair position where if we are disabled from our employment legitimately and in need of help to get well and back to work we are denied. Even though the insurance companies know we are disabled form our employment. They force appeals on us that ca

"Gay Atheist Scientists" LOL!  Looks like you covered most bases. But you left out the "Narcissistic self serving psycho greedy government employees who mistreat cripples". 

If anyone seeing this story thinks it is only happening to a few people who "fell through the cracks" the answer is no. These people were not falling through cracks, they were pushed to the edge of suicide. Unfortunately for tens of thousands of Canadians this is exactly what happens. Stories like Kevin's are commonplace in Canada, and any other WCB system in North America. How did it get this way? Because in Canada government removes your right to sue, your medical rights, and your legal rights. In other words in Canada, as an injured worker, you cannot defend yourself against any crimes WCB's commit against you. Many forced onto welfare and suffering severe pain kill themselves. Too bad the guaranteed compensation government promises us is a lie, a fraud, a theft, and a crime against humanity.
