But ChatGPT will calibrate/improve? Right?
"The study found that ChatGPT Health under-triaged 52% of cases that physicians agreed required emergency care."

Great performance by Michael Shannon tho ;-)
Not Malek's or Crowe's best ... ;-( Richard Grant's performance was - chef's kiss ;-)
What happened to your friend is tragic - and failures like that deserve accountability.
But advocating violence isn’t justice, it’s abandoning the rule of law and it wouldn't fix access to care, lower costs, or improved outcomes - and aren't those the real objectives we should focus on?
No shortage of "ideas" on what to do - but I'm a hard-core realist - and we've lost so much ground on healthcare reform that I'm not optimistic on legislative steps forward.
Especially given all the BIG reversals in OBBBA - and the corruption of all 3 branches of our government.
The bill will either die (like many previous efforts) - OR - passage won't have the pricing impact they're forecasting.
Unless/until we end ESI - we're just rearranging deck chairs - and hoping.

1) Universal *coverage* doesn't have to be single-payer
2) China did it in ~6yrs
3) Systemic change requires ending ESI
4) And THAT requires big tax reform
That's THE big hurdle. The math of uncapped pricing (@ $5+T/yr) says other "tweaks" are really just rearranging deck chairs
hc4.us/esi20
Neither - b/c as long as we have uncapped commercial pricing it's Casino Healthcare.
No single villain - payers, providers, hospitals, pharma, IT, med devices, MedEd - all have uncapped commercial pricing for ~165 million Americans. If you zero'd out ALL payer profits - you wouldn't dent $5+T/yr
We have laws against that - we should just use them.
Commercial hospital pricing (uncapped) isn't tied directly to payer ownership so it doesn't automagically collapse by separating the two - AND - higher pricing is likely w/ more fragmentation b/c we haven't solved any of the systemic flaws.
Footnote: Fragmenting insurance does nothing to address hospital pricing, Rx pricing, medical device pricing, or MedEd pricing. Those are some of the biggest drivers and there's a big risk that fragmenting insurance will RAISE prices - not lower them.
That's the theory - no evidence it will lower costs b/c:
1) Fragmenting h/c doesn't change our for-profit Casino Healthcare model
2) We have anti-trust laws. We just need to use them.
... and FWIW ... single-payer isn't necessary - likely - or a good fit for US.
What we need is single PRICING. In that world (which is most industrialized countries), the actual number of payers is irrelevant.

Perfect.
Breaking up “Big Medicine” sounds good - until you look at consequences.
Risks:
* raising costs, not lowering them
* blows up care coordination
* adds more bureaucracy
* ignores real cost drivers: Rx pricing, hospital monopolies, and uncapped prices.
We already have antitrust laws - use them.
True. Disruption can be good or bad - AND - it's often claimed when it doesn't exist.
That's my point.
Just adding another option in our Casino RX doesn't qualify as "disruption."
... seen at the Portland "No Kings" march yesterday.
"Regime Change Begins At Home"
Again, we should have started upholding the core tenets of the Constitution back in 2017, when he started openly monetizing his hotel three blocks from the White House. 👇 is literally Republic 101 stuff.
... and lobbying is why our Casino Healthcare is running at $5+ trillion/yr (18% of GDP).
The incumbents are all *heavily* entrenched AND well-funded to PREVENT systemic reform.
All the "tweaking" we hear about is just rearranging deck chairs.

@apnews.com
Just spit ballin' here - but how about we make taxes fully transparent?
You know - like the GINORMOUS tax on wages for healthcare benefits through an employer (~165M Americans).
FWIW - the tax exclusion is the Gov's largest tax expenditure.

Ok, NOW the US is doing war crimes.
The list of billionaires aiming to "disrupt" healthcare is long:
Gates, Page/Brin, Bezos/Buffet/Dimon, Soon-Shiong - and now Cuban.
But the framing is fatally flawed b/c moving fast and breaking things in healthcare isn't disruptive - it's just rearranging deck chairs.
