Those clever kids at the doctors union are hoping for exactly the 'health care will suffer' sentiment. If the headlines were 'Docs want 100% raise' and moron MLAs hadn't given themselves their fat pay, would health care still suffer?

Yes because the market says that is what they are worth. The Drs can get paid way more elsewhere. The problem is that the politicians pay themselves. Not exactly a market situation, particularly when the opposition is the proverbial rotten fruit that does not offer a real alternative. A politician with no fear of losing is empowered to do whatever they want.
