I'm saying it right the fuck now.
Healthcare staff need to go on strike, consequences be damned. Imagine how fucking fast Washington would have to act if several state hospitals suddenly had to shut down because of major staff strikes. They would have to IMMEDIATELY stop what they were doing and address the crisis. They would have to buckle down.
The alternative would be a worst case scenario that would be dangerous even for Washington, and it would especially piss off or scare the Administrators of these for-profit hospitals.
Strikes are extremely effective. The pro-corporate side of America doesn't want people to realize that, but they are. Corporations are scared to death of people using their right to protest unlivable conditions that endangered people's lives because it pressures the politicians to do something. Elections go on and on. Even regardless of elections, we know some would be shamed or shaken up outside in the public space.
I think it's never been more important that the healthcare staff send this message NOW before there is no one left to care for the sick. They deserve better.

The idea that the military would crush them becomes a lot less plausible if there are no picket lines to beat people.
Hospital staff don't have to go out and picket. If they stay home that's good enough because they aren't replaceable.
Realistically all that's stopping them is their own desire to not let countless people die.
that's a pretty strong motivator honestly
Yeah, that's only gonna be broken by the endless endless misery this country is piling on them.
thank god we have a vaccine rolling out for them. That's at least one silver lining.
