Despite the fact that his mother found material in his body that was patented by scientists at the laboratory he has been prevented from getting full healthcare to save his life. The corruption and breakdown of the workers compensation system is connected to the deregulation of workers compensation and the elimination of all medical doctors at Ca-OSHA.

Sandi Trend, the mother of injured Agraquest worker David Bell spoke at the California Fraud Assessment Commission in Sacramento on 6/17/2009 about the illness of her son at the Agraquest company in Davis, California. Trend demanded that the California Fraud Commission investigate the cover-up of fraud by the failure of the District Attorney's to do their job and the role of the owner of Agraquest Pam Marrone in this criminal fraud. She pointed out that the Yolo County DA Daniel Stroski, the Sacramento DA and the Insurance Commission had refused to prosecute Marrone's fraud. This FAC commission does oversight on California District Attorneys prosecuting fraud and dispenses more than $29 million to District Attorney's in California to investigate Workers Comp fraud. However they refuse to go after systemic fraud by the insurance industry bosses and those involved in this case. Pam Marrone and Agraquest conspired to violate health and safety regulations and lied about the injuries of employee David Bell to cover-up their liability. The insurance company Liberty Mutual has also fought David Bell's effort to get his healthcare taken care of.
