Just to put it more succinctly: you’re in favor of angering all healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, etc) to make healthcare better.
I don’t know if the outcome you want is the outcome you’re gonna get with that strategy. Might want to consider the humans actually affected and how they might react instead of treating everyone as some faceless cabal of evildoers bent on pulling money out of your pocket.

(just like you might do the same for a boss who belittles you and refuses to give the raise you feel deserve). As an example, in many countries where they have socialized healthcare, nurses and doctors do often go on strike, which has always resulted in worse care during those times...
