Was going to avoid getting into this conversation but let me assure you that it is not only in the private sector that you face do more for less, or do the job of more than one person for the same money.
Let me just say that the public health system is stuffed (in my humble opinion) and that staff shortages, staff freezes, and the expectation that the level and availability of health care remains the same or improves, with less money to sustain it, is having a detrimental effect on the wellbeing of its (public) employees.
Problems such as these are universal at present, both private and public (government) employees are suffering. Not to mention the employers who are hurting somewhat simultaneously.

ps. I agree that it is unjust that in order to stop the wealthy from rorting the system the people who need the system to work are the ones who ultimately suffer in some political decision making processes.
