"TJ - Is the state of Florida going to get a break on their insurance policy if they subject welfare recipients to drug testing?"

If the recipients live in state owned housing yes.




GH,

"And there's no correlation between safety and liability..."

Not what I said at all. I said the intent was to transfer liability ,safety was secondary. Risk abatemnet is additive and drug testing does not nessecarily eliminate risk. Insurance is defined as risk transfer. The risk still remains but the liability is transfered to muliple parties.

If you don't drug test you carry more liability a plain fact. An independant business owner can make that choice freely. In a publically held business a prudent person has a fudicary responsibility to protect his investors and in the case of government they have the fudicary responibility to protect the tax payers. What one wants and what one is required to do in those cases can be different.

It is clear that most of you are ideolouges with very limited if no practical expierence.
