Exposure Issues AssociatedWith War in Iraq
• By the time “major operations” are completed in Iraq and Afghanistan, likely that more than 500,000 military personnel will have be deployed, some more than once
• About 40% of these are National Guard and Reserves• Pentagon planning for presence of 100,000+ through 2009
with 25% Reserve/Guard component• About 4% of troops in Iraq are physically injured ann.
14,021 physically injured so far; many 1000s more yet to comeMost will return to civilian workforce; some w/impairment
• Nearly 30% of soldiers deployed to Iraq exhibit some post-deployment symptoms of mental health problems, including depression, anxiety and PTSD; Alcohol issueEstimated that 100,000+ may need some mental health helpOnly a minority will actually ever receive it
Why Does this Matter forWorkers Compensation?
• Tens of thousands of soldiers will re-enter the civilian workforce having suffered some physical injurySome will require accommodationPossibility of reinjury/second injury; Second Injury Funds? Interaction with Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
• 100,000+ will have suffered some mental health issuesHow will lack of treatment manifest itself in the workplace?When?
• Costs to VA are already staggeringVA spent $4.3 billion on PTSD disability payments in 2004 (excl.
med costs)• Could be some cost shifting to WC for both physical and
“stress” (ultimately mental health related) injuries• Outcome of war, community/family can have effect on
incidence of psychological disorders
Why Does this Matter forWorkers Compensation?
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or violent personal assaults like rape.*
• While Most Vets Function Normally, PTSD & Related

Troop Strength Levels in Iraq Guarantee Significant Flow of Injured
Source: Brookings Institution, Iraq Index Archive, updated August 18, 2005. *Estimate based on Pentagon comments.
Troop strength levels are expected to rise to their highest
levels yet by year-end 2005 ahead of scheduled elections
To date, 40% of troops have been National Guard or
Reservists, meaning 100,000+ people eventually looking to be returned to the workforce soon

What Can/Should Employers,WC Insurers (esp. Claims Staff) Do?
• Be aware of physical injuries sustained in theater by returning/new employees who served in military combat roles or as contractors in war zones & accommodate
• Be aware of possible mental health issuesMonitoring is probably wise, esp. in stressful jobs or jobs involving
operation of heavy equipment and driving Most former military will have no major problem readjustingSome will, so know how to get them help
• Most employers, claims people may mistake root cause of problems. Not trained to recognize warning signs.
• Veteran’s who were wounded or suffer from service-related mental health problems entitled to lifetime medical benefits from the Veterans AdministrationNOTE: Many may be undiagnosed (barely ¼ see MH prof.)
• Be aware of local VA resources: http://www.va.gov/rcs/ VA Readjustment Counseling Service: 800-905-4675
The Defense Base Act:What is It & Its Relationship to WC?
• Congress passed DBA in 1941 to cover construction workers in lend/lease military bases outside continental US & broadened several times since
• DBA extends USL&H Act to civilian workers on bases overseas & contractors employees outside USAdministered by US Department of Labor
• Covers all US citizens employed on job site (e.g., Iraq), 3rd party and local nationals, subcontractors

Casual Theories About Occupations With Elevated Odds of
Neurodegenerative Diseases
Profession Associative Theory
Hairdressers Increased risk of PSD, AD and MND, suggesting risk associated with dyes, components of hair care products & other exposures in hairdressing, manicure
Farmers Increased risk for all 4 NDDs, esp. before age 65. Suggests risk associated with pesticides.
Teachers, Clergy & Other Professionals
Elevated risk for all 4 NDDs described as “perplexing.” Possibly educated professionals at lower risk of death for other diseases (less smoking, better health care). Mixed/no evidence of educational attainment link. Risk factors for teachers may include stress and exposure to infectious agents.
Welding PD-like disorder associated with manganese fumes from arc-welding (manifestation of manganism). Studies in US, Europe, Korea suggest link.
TRIA UPDATE• TRIA expires December 31, 2005
• Treasury completed its study of the program 6/30/05 – did not back reauthorization of TRIA in current form
• Insurers & coalition partners have established strong case for TRIA extension, but Treasury believes still clings to 4 myths:1. Terrorism is insurable 3. Insurance is a “free market”
2. Govt. crowds out pvt. capital/innovation 4. Ample capacity now exists
• Basically political/ideological issue for relatively small number in Congress and a few policymakers
• Senate & House hearings held in mid-July 2005, went well
• London terrorist attacks gave TRIA opponents pause
• Legislation now looks likely
…But The Door Was Left Open
If Congress were to reauthorize TRIA, these are the key changes that insurers required to make:
The event size that triggers coverage must be increased from current $5 million level to $500 million.
Dollar deductibles and percentage co-payments must be increased.
Certain lines of insurance, such as commercial auto, GL and other smaller lines must be eliminated from the program.
Reforms to ensure that injured plaintiffs can recover against negligent defendants, but not by exploiting the litigation system.
