3 days agoI support a general strike but I’m a doctor that works primarily in an underserved community filled with many immigrants (illegal and otherwise). I would support other people striking, but I feel like I couldn’t possibly stop working because my role is a lifeline for workers.
So I work for a small community hospital. I have zero input on billing. My hospital is so small and broke that we end up being subsidized by the city/state most years because so many of our patients are uninsured and can’t pay for our services. I can’t make the hospital operate for free because I have zero influence on billing.
I do volunteer at free clinics part time.
