Before she died, my mother would always prescribe me ketamine before bed. I can't sleep because I miss her so much, can you do that for me?

This is the license to kill the insurance companies have been wanting. Killed your husband, oopsie daisy silly computer, we'll put in a ticket. Btw, shareholder dividends have been off the fookin hizzie lately, noone knows why.

Yup, exactly this. Insurance companies don’t want to keep doctors on their payroll, because they’re expensive and inconvenient when the doctor occasionally says that medical care is necessary. But they want to be able to back up their claim denials, so they’ll need to keep some whipped doctors around who will go in front of an appeal and say “nah this person doesn’t actually need chemo. They’ll be fine without it. It’s not medically necessary.”

Now they’ll be able to just spin up an AI, get it licensed, and then never let it actually say care is necessary. Boom, now they’re able to deny 100% of claims if they want, because they’re expensive have a “licensed” AI saying that care is never necessary.

I probably don't need to point this out, but AIs do not have to follow any sort of doctor-patient confidentiality issues what with them not being doctors.

Didn’t take the Hippocratic oath either

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 4 days ago

They take the Hypocritic oath instead.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Doctors don't do so either, at least in the US

So why push to prevent abortion?

Real question, no troll.

Kill people by preventing care on one side. Prevent people from unwanted pregnancy on the other. Maybe they want a rapid turnover in population because the older generations aren't compliant.

With the massive changes to the Department of Education, maybe they have plans to severely dumb down the next few generations into maleable, controllable wage slaves.

Maybe I just answered my own question.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lack of abortion kills women. Disproportionately women of color die with all things pregnancy and birth related.

the older generations aren't compliant

Where are you coming from with this statement?

In my experience the older the person, the bigger the bootlicker. Boomers as a group behave like obedient dogs, they will accept anything as long as their macmansion price and 401k goes up.

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am trying to understand why they would both prevent abortion AND cut healthcare. I don't believe any generation is more or less compliant. I think that each group is compliant to different things.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 3 days ago

why they would both prevent abortion AND cut healthcare

fake news teevee told them that's what they should support, they don't give much thought to issues beyond that.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That's my initial take as well. Legalize reducing costs for the insurance corps yet further..

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 27 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Currently insurance claim denial appeals have to be reviewed by a licensed physician. I bet insurance companies would love to cut out the human element in their denials.

Did someone order a Luigi?

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I'm really interested in seeing the full text whenever that comes out, I agree and think this would be one of the first places they would use it.

A real world response to denied claims and prior authorizations is to ask a few qualifying questions during the appeals process. Submit claims and prior authorizations with the full expectation that they will be denied, because the shareholders must have caviar, right?

Anecdotal case in-point:

You desperately need a knee surgery to prevent a potential worse condition. The Prior Authorization is denied.

You have the right to appeal that ruling, and you can ask what are the credentials for the doctor who gave the ruling. If, per se, a psychologist says that a knee surgery isn't medically necessary, you can ask them which specialized training they have received in the field of psychiatry that brought them to that conclusion.

and for other purposes

I'm interpreting that as AI death panels.

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 13 points 4 days ago

Very interesting. The way I see people fucking with AI at the moment, there's no way someone won't game an AI doctor to give them whatever they want. But also knowing that UnitedHealthcare was using AI to deny claims, this only legitimizes those denials for them more. Either way, the negatives appear to outweigh the positives at least for me.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

Fucking ridiculous

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

This is great for Canada. We won't be loosing as many trained doctors to the US now.

Thanks!!!!

(I'm so sorry this happening to you guys)

Gonna be easy as shit for addicts to craft prompts that get their AI doctor to prescribe benzos and opioids and shit.

[–] BertramDitore@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So AI practitioners would also be held to the same standards and be subject to the same consequences as human doctors then, right? Obviously not. So this means a few lines of code will get all the benefits of being a practitioner and bear none of the responsibilities. What could possibly go wrong? Oh right, tons of people will die.

This algo told me to over charge rent, I am not price fixing...

This is the new business tactic to extract while avoiding liability.

There is no recourse any person has here either. And the government is too corrupt to protect the taxpayers.

We are so fucked.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, this lawsuit about algorithmic pricing will not get dropped.

I don't have much hope with the current administration.
