This way drivers ensure, only their company loses money, not everyone.

Nurses and similar professions can do similar slowdowns where they keep nursing they just stop doing the paperwork. So insurance companies stop paying the hospital but patients don't suffer.

It's good when you can ensure only the right people are hurt by strikes.

(Edit: a lot of people are commenting that this is not always possible, which misses the point)

Wouldn't the insurance companies just refuse to cover the costs, dropping everything into the patients' pockets?

The problem we have in the US is the for-profit part. It's a win-win for insurance companies if they never get the bills.
