    There are other ways of striking than reducing service. For example you could stop all insurance paperwork and offer your services for free for the duration of the strike. Or anything else that makes management mad and the bosses/shareholders lose money.

      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.
