Why is it when doctors + insurance complain they don't get paid enough by Medicaire or Medicaid

[Dappleganger]

they get 22% boosts to their payment rates, but when others complain they are called socialist whiners?

4. Compare how the union workers and doctors/insurance companies are treated.

When doctors and insurance companies demand more money, they typically get it without complaint or being accused of being greedy (except by those paying attention!). When American union workers ask for something as simple as the state honoring their STEP raise (a piddly $300 here in FL, which barely covers a training seminar) everyone accuses them of being socialist whiners--INCLUDING those doctors and insurance folks.

It's time for America to be reminded just who works to make this fucking country go!

5. I guess I need examples.

I'm not fond of insurance companies, and I know they've pulled a lot of strings to make profits, but I don't see it when it comes to the majority of docs in primary care, etc...
