In Idaho, Buck said his workers' comp insurance will be $150,000.
"That's a $500,000 impact," he said.
La Suer, meanwhile, was critical of efforts to get workers' comp reform included as part of the state's budget talks.
"The truth is that the budget gets approved and signed because deals get cut," he said. "We've told the Democrats that there would be no budget approval without workers' comp reform. But that has been dismissed. We have a stalemate."
