California's workers' compensation system should be tweaked to make sure injured workers get treatment as quickly as possible, insurance commissioner Steve Poizner says after two months on the job.
While recent workers' comp reforms reduced ambiguity and employers' costs, Poizner says he's concerned they also made it more difficult to get care fast. Changes could be made through new regulations or legislation.
