The ‘Uber Model' Comes for Nursing

This is disgusting. Fortunately my spouse saw the writing on the wall during covid and has left the profession.

It shocks me that we have let huge businesses monopolize all of our hospitals and health care industries.

We are fortunate where I live that the major university runs the bigger hospital, as all the private ones are running like an airline service, over charging, hiring unqualified people, and only looking at the next quarters profits.

I like how the title embraces the inevitable yet catastrophic nature of Uberisation (which is just privatization really). Like it comes for you, whether you want it or not. It leaves behind a trail of industries full of exploiteds and void of regulation, great phenomenon. You hear this nursing? It's coming for you. Firefighters? You betcha

Teachers, too. The firms placing substitute teachers in schools are so shockingly awful.
