Economics - Chapter 3 - Should the medical system be fully under the government, and independent of any unions?

There is an article in The Vancouver Sun today titled Jail nurses vote for strike. As all of you know, some nurses in BC are under the B.C. Nurses Union. Unions help members get better wages, benefits and working conditions.
Prison nurses and other support staff at 10 provincial jails have voted 94 per cent in favour of taking a strike action. But what if the union is not involved with the system? Will there even be any strikes?
I think the government should be fully in charged of the health care system, and it should be independent of any unions. Because health care and medical needs are necessary to ALL, it should be taken seriously. If there are strikes, there will be short of staff, and more or less affecting the public who needs the service. For example: there might be three physiotherapists, but there is a strike, there might only be one, so not as many patients will get the treatment. When strike is not happening, it takes around four to five hours in the emergency until you get your service. Can you imagine how long you will have to wait when they are short of staff? What happens when a seriously injured person came into the emergency and needed aid instantly, but there are not enough nurses and staff to go around and help every body?

Without strikes, public will have more of a reliable medical system. Just like the education system, when teachers goes on strike, all public schools are not in session, this really affects the progress of learning for us, and for the long term, we are the people who will be working in the near future, we might miss out opportunities because we missed the x number of weeks and was not prepared.

Private medical clinics do not have registered nurses, who can only provide simple services, but it restricted to provide any services like working in a surgery.

Every registered nurse must be a member of the B.C. Nurses Union. But did they all joined willingly? Willing to sacrifice their income and time to go to the picket line?

Therefore, I think medical system should be independent of unions. Government should be fully involved for better services for the public.
