Ive been excited about this article since you hinted on it! Like you said, we shouldn’t be praising half measures for things we pay for (on multiple levels). I expect a computer algorithm to deny my healthcare. Before AI, medical professionals hired by insurance companies were the ones doing the denying. I agree that this headline was made to placate the rest of us into thinking that somehow there will be more ‘compassion’ in the process of a claim- but that absolutely isn’t it. It’s almost funny how quickly these companies (and politicians who support them) are trying to prove that our system of health insurance isn’t a total scam and it is backfiring.

That was perfectly stated! And “placate” is definitely the right word for what’s happening here. Our healthcare system is an absolute joke & we can’t allow “fixes” like this to distract us from the real problems at hand.

Thank you for checking out the post & commenting, Natasha!

I’ll be updating my Instagram story soon, with the tease for the next post 😎
