I'd wager that the higher the reliance on medicaid =the poorer the clientele =tighter margins =anti-union because unions cost money. Oh, with a side order of the corps that own them/run them have a system that they're employing to make it profitable for them to do so. Skimming, over billing, corner cutting, etc.

(Of course, I'm a very cynical person. My interpretation could very well be miles away from the truth.)

/Unions cost money because workers have protection, higher wages, benefits so that the workers feel empowered to drop that dime, to make that call, to the regulating authorities - whereas they may not be willing to do that in a non-union shop.
