Countless Mass. residents are beset by broken workers’ comp system

The MassCOSH Immigrant Worker Center applauds the Globe and reporter Katie Johnston for the compelling article about the failures of the Massachusetts workers’ compensation system (“Workers’ comp system has patients at a loss: Few Mass. doctors will accept low reimbursements,” Page A1, April 20).
