The issue is that privatized for profit healthcare does not create conditions where people can work reasonable hours. Striking is basically the only option people have here.
Not arguing against that. But the optics of doing this strike now and dragging in the decision to increase admissions to doctors programs are absolutely horrible and is the reason this protest is so unpopular and the governments very stern reaction accepted.
I'm not sure what alternative you're proposing that's available to people being exploited working 100 hour weeks.
