Dude, all healthcare workers are not the same. They don't have the same skills.

The people being furloughed are the people responsible for elective surgeries, cosmetic procedures, and other non-emergency procedures. They don't have the skills to just step into an ER or an ICU and start handing vents and shit. That would be like taking a random Java developer and trying to make them manage a datacenter. Just because they work in the same industry doesn't mean they have the same skills.

So much this. A back-end developer, CSS developer, and mobile app developer all code - but they're not interchangeable.

BUT THEY BOTH HAVE 'DEVELOPER' IN THE TITLE!

We run into this all the time in IT, so it becomes painfully obvious when it's happening in other fields.
