Interesting take. My healthcare friends (doctors and nurses) literally 100% of them have either already bounced from the field, or have plans to immediately once they pay off medical debt.

Fully and entirely due to the way they were treated during covid by hospital administration and the collapse-like conditions they were forced to work through.

The bill coming due for our healthcare system hasn't even started installment payments yet.
