Are they demanding to keep their principles and their job too?
If an employer requires something of you that you find is against your principles, you have the right to leave that employment. To stay would be unprincipled. Perhaps one could start a company of their own where one is not required to sacrifice their principles in the performance of their job. That would be the principled thing to do. The American thing in fact.
The question is who do licensed professionals work for?
Many health professionals are self-employed.
Even those who are employed by corporations are *professionals* and citizens. We have a duty to do the right thing. It is not a defense to say "I was just following orders." Remember not only the Nuremberg trials, but the way we look at those doctors who performed lobotomies on women such as the Kennedy daughter and the doctors who were complicit with managed care's refusal of hospitalizations, surgeries and tests.
