Can’t wait for healthcare to become EVEN MORE expensive as a result

Because you know they’re not going to take a cut in order to pay workers fairly.

I still see workers fighting for their rights as a positive.

Well yeah, of course, but you already know they’re just going to use this as a way to squeeze more money out of people

Kinda yes. But also kinda no, because they're already trying to squeeze as much as possible before everyone breaks. Anything they can do, they were going to do already. They might have something new to blame it on, but I don't think any particular squeezing will be the fault of the striking workers.

I’m not saying it’s the strikers’ fault at all. It’s the executives and insurance companies.

Oh yeah I get that. I wasn't hating on you. Just making my own little side point that they're squeezing as much as they can from the patients. Giving more to the labor side wouldn't make patients have anymore to give. Blood from a stone and all that. :)

Okay good, I just wanted to clarify cause I think my initial comment could get misconstrued

Largely the insane costs are the fault of insurance companies, albeit yes they collude with the hospitals to keep costs high so people need insurance.

Yeah, that’s not how that works
