SABERS, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in all respects.
I write specially to point out that the dissent appears to overlook the fact that Goodman is in fact being provided worker’s compensation coverage. What difference does it really make that it is being provided by his first employer, Manpower, rather than his second employer, Sioux Steel? Goodman cannot show that he is entitled to bring a common law negligence action against Sioux Steel. This is a solid decision and a just result. One can’t help but consider the whereabouts of the “solitary cry(er) of dissent” when Black Hills wood cutter Flores was determined by this court to have no workmen’s compensation insurance whatsoever. See Egemo v. Flores, 470 N.W.2d 817 (S.D.1991).
