It always helps to demonise the health care providers when you are trying dismantle the public system and hand it over to your oligarch buddies.

Fuck you Simeon. Come work a week on our dangerously understaffed wards and see for yourself why we need you to reverse course on the hiring freeze and overtime cuts.

The irony of a politician complaining that healthcare workers are playing politics is just rude.
