DESCRIPTION:\nInjured Davis Agraquest biotech worker David Bell and other injured 
 workers will be speaking out about the criminal fraud and cover-up by the 
 insurance industry and the workers comp system in not caring for injured 
 workers and cost shifting these costs to the local, state and Federal 
 agencies. The press conference will take place on Tuesday November 18 at 
 4:00 PM in front of the California Workers Compensation Board at 455 Golden 
 Gate Ave. across the street from the Federal 
 Building.\n\nosha_toxins.jpg\n\n11/18 SF Press Conference With Injured 
 Worker David Bell And Workers Compensation Crisis \n\nInjured biotech 
 Agraquest worker David Bell to provide evidence of criminal fraud by 
 Agraquest owner Pam Marrone, Liberty Mutual and conflict of interest by 
 California Workers Compensation Appeals judge Suzanne F. Dugan. \n\nPress 
 Conference And Testimony By Injured Workers \n\nDate: 11/18/2008 Tuesday 
 4:00 PM \n\nPlace:CA State Building Workers' Comp Appeals Board 455 Golden 
 Gate Ave. SF \n\n\n\nInjured Davis, California biotech Agraquest worker 
 David Bell was infected by bacteria and fungus in 1999 at his job that had 
 been patented by the Davis based biotech company Agraquest. Agraquest CEO 
 and owner Pam Marrone since that time has conspired along with her 
 insurance company Liberty Mutual which is owned by Warren Buffet to avoid 
 taking care of the healthcare costs of injured worker David Bell. These 
 costs which amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars have been shifted 
 onto the taxpayer through Social Security and SS Disability. This massive 
 cost shifting scam is in fact costing the people of the United States 
 billions of dollars as insurance companies and self insured employers 
 refuse to take care of their injured workers and force their costs onto 
 state, local and Federal public agencies. \n\nSuzanne F. Duggan, the 
 California workers compensation judge ruled against David Bell and refused 
 to recluse herself from this case even though her previous law firm had 
 represented Liberty Mutual. This systemic corruption and RICO operation is 
 part and parcel of the insurance industry controlled workers compensation 
 system. \n\nInjured workers have called on California District Attorneys to 
 prosecute fraud, the Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, Attorney General 
 Jerry Brown with no response and action. \n\nThe CCWMD has also met with US 
 Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey who is subcommittee chair of the US 
 Congressional Workplace committee and has sought to have US Congressional 
 hearings on these health and safety issues as well as the massive cost 
 shifting by the insurance industry. \n\nDavid Bell and other injured 
 workers will speak about the massive cover-up of criminal activity by their 
 employers and insurance companies to cost shift their costs. \n\n\n\nThis 
 press conference is organized by CA Coalition For Workers Memorial Day 
 \n\nhttp://www.workersmemorialday.org \n\nP.O. Box 720027 \n\nSan 
 Francisco, CA 94172 (415)867-0628 \n\n11/18/2008 \n\n\n\n\nFurther links on
