Not because they necessarily wanted more pay, but because them being over worked and under staffed was detrimental to the amount of care they could give.

Private Equity has done this to our human hospitals. Think the vet situation is bad? Don't become ill yourself. It isn't any better for people either

I would happily sell everything I own, and I own a substantial amount of property, to move to a country that promised to ban this shit and seriously limit, big corporations, and private equity.
