How AI Can Advance Health Equity
The following is a guest article by Sachin Patel, CEO at Apixio.
The use of AI in healthcare is gaining fast traction, with the total market expected to grow over 46% CAGR, reaching $96 billion by 2028. While AI has the potential to improve health equity, intrinsic and extrinsic biases that exist from the lack of diverse data exacerbate the problem. Furthermore, the closer an activity is to the point of care, the greater the risk of unintended biases in clinical decision-making.
For example, an AI-powered system to predict the likelihood of hospitalization to avoid in-patient admission can help target interventions, preven...

Getting Sick and Going Broke – CVS, Credit Cards, and Crippling Medical Debt
BY MIKE MAGEE
The Medical-Industrial Complex is swarming with grifters. This is to be expected when you build a purposefully complex system designed to advance profitability for small and large players alike. The $4T operation payrolling 1 in 5 American workers is, in large part, a hidden economy, one built by professional tricksters, designed by Fortune 100 firms with mountains of lobbyists, but reinforced as well by friendly doctors and hospitals engaged in petty and small scale swindling who justify their predatory actions as entrepreneurial, innovative, and purposeful means of necessary financial survival.

American health care leaders are not blameless today
By MATTHEW HOLT
It is a very sad day for America. Roughly 30% of our country is part of a quasi-religious cult. In general these people reject science and the enlightenment. This week the Jan 6th committee has shown they are prepared to use and support any tools or tactics–up to and including the overthrow of the government, in order to get what they want.
The overturning of Roe vs Wade is the most visible artifact of a 40-year campaign. The campaign was funded by business leaders like the Koch brothers who want to revoke all environmental, labor and rational restrictions on their activities. Using dark m...
