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 middle managers and probably a chunk of the front line people would have to get thrown out, but I bet there some radicalized people in there. But, yeah, this whole thing would need to be Autonomous Zones/John Q level of disruption

      I think projecting people with faceless jobs to stick it to their employer as we're staring deep into a long recession is a little too fantastic. The reality is scabs are probably gonna be the norm from here on out, if they weren't already.

        I'm talking golden path here. I'm not putting money down that this is gonna happen or anything, just what it would have to look like if it did.

        Medical billing would 100% just get appified if it hasn't already.
