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.

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.

Yeah, that’s not how that works

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.
