Blaming nurses and technicians feels a bit of an exaggeration. It's not as tho they're high in the hierarchy and have little say in pricing or other facets of why our healthcare system sucks. Maybe start the blame at politicians, insurers, pharmas and hospital owners and work your way down from there. Those with power and control should be the first to attack.

The entire "blame" paradigm is unproductive. Does Lyft "blame" Uber for it's lowered market share?

The entire system (including nurses and technicians) are just agents making semi-rational decisions in their own self interest. Is it important to judge people within an existing system or is it important to look at locus points that, when pressure is applied, can make durable changes to the system?
