AI death panels?! Thanks, Obama.

Why would you even need an ai? Just send a deny by default from a template, and only start looking at updated claims or something.

I heard from a friend who does medicare data analytics at health insurance companies that when they tried to model which patients to deny it explicitly suggested never approving certain interventions for black people

How is it legal for them to give our health information to AI?????????? Without explicit consent?? And why are they able to access and look through it like this, when normally records are protected from this?

I can think of several reason by the way this should be illegal:

• AI is experimental, and this is further an experimental use of AI. Test subjects, especially medical test subjects, must be able to know if they are being experimented on and must be able to consent
• AI adapts and "learns" from input and can be prompted to spit that data out - it is not secure for protected and private information
• Want to double emphasize it is not a secure system for private information laws
• AI also is an outside company and is not the government, we did not give them permission tonaccess our health data and the government themselves has no warrant or emergency need to access our healthcare data either - this isn't a legal way to access health records

If I am a doctor, I’ll put prompt injection attacks on patients’ insurance claims to help them get the care they need.

Although I think the quote should be:

Yousa thinking USA people gonna die?

This is why they're hell bent for leather on making Ell Em an example.

Just what you want, a computer in charge of peoples health, blind Freddy can see where all this ends up

CALLED IT THE DAY CHATGPT CAME OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

im getting sick and tired of being right all the time.

one more thing to watch for, they are going to use AI to create custom viruses that are going to go after specific genes in the population and erradicate them like the enclave wanted to do with project purity in fallout 3 for people with mutations. using information from databases pulled from companies like 23 and me.

autistics, ADHD, LGBTQ+, specific races, and other "less preferable" genetic markers will be targeted. with those in power sharing those markers being vaccinated well in advance.

tinfoil hat coming off now.

I can already see an eugenics "Mecha Hitler" AI, going out of it's way to cool undesirables.

We won't just have death panels. We'll have automated death panels!

Delay Deny Depose

Beep Boop

“This woman needs open heart surgery, stat!”

“I’m sorry, Dr. Dave. I’m afraid you can’t do that.”

You don't need AI for that, they just use it as a scapegoat. At this point they may use a dummy named Steve. "I am sorry, Steve denied you medicare".

It is a simple algorithm that does not require "AI".

They will use Grok so the government will be even more systematically racist.

Theoretically AI could reduce delays in approvals because a machine can approve someone for cover faster than a human. But what happens with the denied people? The article does not seem to mention whether refusals still have an appeal option which would then guarantee human intervention (one presumes).

In principle, more humans should be freed up to work on appeals if AI is used for the initial decision. But knowing the Trump regime, those freed up people will have a job security problem.

In Europe, the GDPR would theoretically¹ protect people from this. Automated decision making is generally banned but has exceptions. But even when automated decision making is legal, there is a legal obligation to have the possibility of human intervention.

Some US states have their own dilluted GDPR variant, but I think none of them give a shit about automated decision making.

¹ I say “theoretically” because GDPR enforcement is a disaster.

AI says No.

MediCARE, people. The kind your grandma (or you) is using.

Say bye bye to your grandma, cause she’s gonna have a republican robot refuse the drugs she needs to live.

Did you vote for it? Hahahahahahahahhahaahahhahahahahahaha

This is essentially hiding the automatic denial of everything inside a black box, right? Everyone sees that? I think I'd rather they just randomly cancel 20% of the covered people. Why reduce the financial coverage in a way that will produce worse medical outcomes due to delayed treatment?

These are the same folks who want to claim some moral high ground in all their politics. They are grotesque.

Trump and the GQP's first step in gutting Medicare.

Would be a hell of a lot cheaper if they just automatically denied everyone. Because, let's be honest, that is what the end result of this is going to be anyway.

They didn't learn much from the Universal Health / Luigi situation then

“The computer says no…” [cough]

Why bother? It would be easier for them to just bool getApproval { return false; }. There, I'll take my multimillion dollar contract now please (and donate it all to fix this disaster).

The government plans to partner with private companies to automate prior authorizations denials.

Trump and the GQP's first step in gutting Medicare.

Remember that? 2009, “Obamacare has death panels!” Now look at us. Trump is the two time, citizenship is no longer safe, the law doesn’t matter. MAGA is being loyalty tested with Epstein. We got pickleball & robotheism. Alex Jones basically covers for the CIA & FBI now. Putin still in power.

Such a great time! Oh, and genocide daily!
