My dad was was a Navy doc in WW2 and then Korea. He came home to be a small town doctor from 1952-90.

In those days, a general practice doc did surgeries, family medicine and OB/Gyn. He did it all with an office practice, made house calls and also admitted and cared for his patients in the hospital.

That model worked until the governments started to dictate how medicine was delivered.

>>>Can family doctors deliver rural America from its maternal health crisis?<<<

An old-fashioned, Can-Do country Doc really can save the day.

Help IS on the way.

In ancient times, when word of a *Deliverer* was spreading throughout the land, the forces of evil fixated on the... *deliveries*.

Few ever catch on, and by then it's too late.

Try as it might, the Dark Side is not able to stop Christmas from coming.

It's just not bright enough. Q.E.D. 😄

Merry Christmas!

(This post might look like yet another round of punny nonsense, until it doesn't. Hopefully some of this stuff has been sticking, even if for the annoying 'cryptic' absurdity of it all. Well what can I say -- it's a public service.)

Now, both United Healthcare and Humana use an AI algorithm to determine what procedures are necessary.

As a result, they are denying major procedures at an alarming rate and killing people. Dr’s no longer make the decisions, AI does.

This system is about to explode as people are getting angry as treatment stops and insurance companies profits skyrocket.

Per the article linked below:

“When decisions made by the algorithm are appealed, they are allegedly overturned 90% of the time.

“Despite the high rate of wrongful denials, Humana continues to systemically use this flawed AI model to deny claims because they know that only a tiny minority of policyholders will appeal denied claims,” the plaintiff’s attorneys wrote.”

Humana used AI tool from UnitedHealth to deny Medicare Advantage claims, lawsuit alleges
