Given what happened to Nina Pham and the hazards of Ebola, would you blame healthcare workers for refusing to work on Ebola patients unless give more pay?

Usually dangerous jobs demand more pay, right?

Suppose they unionized and threatened strikes unless paid for the hazardous work?

bullshite is constantly spewed by socialized medicine advocates about "greedy" health care workers.
In fact, money is a very rare motivator for what US Healthcare workers do.

I could definitely see workers hesitating to participate in ED or ICU care settings though. A 33y/o mother of two is not going to be excited about prospects of caring for a patient who will endanger her, regardless of pay.

That is the crux of my thoughts.

For people like Tuba the union worker is sacrosanct, but so is big government like the CDC.

So what if healthcare union activity clashed and interfered with big gov?
I wonder if lefties tell unions to get lost in that situation.

So you're denying Drs are springloaded to amputate feet for that sweet $30k paycheck, when all they had to do was give them a breathalyzer, er inhaler?
