@janisf this is just horrifying to this Senior on Medicare who already has had major problems with third party authorizations even for an MRI to diagnose herniated discs! I am in Arizona. It’s already awful. Now this:
“firms to deploy AI to make what are known as “prior authorization” decisions regarding whether Medicare should pay for certain procedures, including spinal surgeries and steroid injections. The program is set to run first in Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington.”

@MrLee @rob11563 @w7voa to answer your question:

Remember: Only #Populists want simple solutions (i.e. 'just ban guns!') for complex Problems!

NONE OF THESE SOLUTIONS WILL BE CHEAP, FAST, POPULAR OR EASY AND THAT IS WHY THESE OBJECTIVELY GOOD SOLUTIONS WON'T BE DONE!

So instead of blaing a non-sentient piece of metal and plastic how about being angry at those #Project2025 fucks and following the money.

To stop 1000's of children being killed. What are the quickest best steps the USA can take. What's your plan?

I'm trying to schedule an appointment with my mom's endocrinologist. This is through Providence. They are booked through February 2024..

So let me get this right. Emergent care that is needed right away, you have to wait 6 months for?

I mean, what else do you say about this. Every human asset connected to living is also connected to capitalism and profit. Shameful doesn't even go far enough. It's just disgusting. #ushealthcare #healthcare #ForProfitMedicine #providencehealthcare
