I didn't know I still had any faith to lose in the insurance industry. At this point anyone in a management position is undeniably evil, in all senses of the word. I wish nothing but the worst for them.
what the fuck kind of country looks to save billions of dollars spent on healthcare for their own citizens instead of waste fraud & abuse by the uber wealthy, or the military?
you can have an insanely strong military without the waste & fraud that exists in the US

This is FUCKING enraging.
That's a fucking idiotic idea.
No, it's fine and makes total sense if your goal is to incentivize your company's suppliers and affiliates to KILL PEOPLE.
Garbage humans in, garbage AI out
Gross
So what's the point of having insurance if you can't claim what you need?
The point is fraud. They give you just enough to think they will cover you when you really need it. And by then, they've already extracted the optimum amount they were gonna get from you.
The term 'perverse incentive' springs to mind, except there'll be nothing unexpected about the consequences.

Wasnt incentivising robots to kill humans supoosed to be prevented by those Azimov laws?
Good Job, Luigi! You saved healthcare!
The ethics of sabotaging AI are even less murky than the ethics of what Luigi did. We need tech Luigis.
Now we're talking
As it turns out murdering a random CEO doesn't fix the deep issues with out healthcare.
CEOs are just cogs in the machine at the end of the day. Investors, the rest of the company leadership and the government are all to blame as well.
It is crazy that it is ok to profit off of denying people care.

Violence is like duct tape. If it hasn't solved your problem, you didn't use enough of it.

Evil.
Fucking bots, they started disallowing us from browsing the web. Sure they'll be more careful with our lives.
This is definitely the wrong "motive structure" for administrative decisions from agency supposed to provide healthcare. Proof of grift as a goal.
By all means, use AI assistance to determine claims validity. But the AI service should be paid per query, or to licence whole model for unlimited use with medicare paying for the computers/gpus. Medicare should be choosing a model that is accurate instead of one that is paid to deny everything, because Homer Simpson's birdy automation can do that ultra cheap.
