> The remedy is straightforward: decommercialized national health insurance: a single, public insurance plan that covers everyone, financed through progressive taxes, with no copayments or deductibles.

One small note: taxes are not required for spending; ie, let's avoid the "How are you going to pay for it?" question. #MMT

Ryan Clarkson: Pretending #AI Tools Are Doctors Will Harm Millions on #Medicare: #Health insurers are already using AI to deny care—and are poised to do so at unprecedented scale

#UnitedHealth, #Humana, and #Cigna have been secretly implanting AI into their claims and prior authorization processes.

"In our litigation, we have uncovered claim denial reversal rates exceeding 90% when patients challenge these AI-driven decisions."

“AOC humiliates RFK over UnitedHealth rip-off – the private health group who fund Wes Streeting”

by Skwawkbox in The Canary @thecanaryuk @uk_politics

“The UK’s current health secretary [..] has accepted large amounts of cash from one of #UnitedHealth’s main investors & plenty from other private health interests – [..] more than £311,000. Streeting is not alone – the whole Labour front bench is at the same trough”

Curtis Means reveals a bold defense move by Luigi Mangione’s lawyers to dismiss key federal charges, including the potential death penalty, citing Miranda rights violations and improper evidence.

To boost profits, UnitedHeath cherry picked 109 counties to stop offering Medicare Advantage Plans in, affecting around 200,000 disabled and senior citizens.

Although not in this article, UnitedHealth is also exiting state Medicaid managed care plans, like MyCare Ohio, at the end of the year

It appears UnitedHealth is deliberately abandoning the sickest and poorest members it insures in order to boost its profits.

I'm not fan of Medicare Advantage Plans or managed Medicaid plans, but this is going to break long standing health care relationships as patients will have to navigate to a new plan and in-network providers of that new plan. #healthcare #unitedhealth #medicare #Medicaid #USPol

Apple wspiera cyfrową rewolucję zdrowia w USA – razem z Białym Domem i 60 firmami technologicznymi

Apple dołącza do rządowej inicjatywy na rzecz cyfrowej transformacji systemu opieki zdrowotnej w USA.

Celem projektu – prowadzonego przez CMS, Office for Civil Rights i Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy – jest stworzenie bezpieczniejszej, bardziej spersonalizowanej opieki zdrowotnej oraz przekazanie pacjentom większej kontroli nad ich danymi medycznymi.

Do kluczowych założeń projektu należą:

Promowanie CMS Interoperability Framework – nowego standardu wymiany danych między aplikacjami, placówkami i pacjentami.
Rozwój narzędzi ułatwiających zarządzanie zdrowiem, w tym aplikacji do obsługi cukrzycy, otyłości i AI-asystentów zdrowotnych.
Rezygnacja z papierowych formularzy – tzw. „kill the clipboard”, czyli cyfrowe meldowanie się pacjentów.

Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung i inni zobowiązali się do wdrażania narzędzi zgodnych z FHIR i Smart Health Cards, ułatwiających dostęp do danych i bezpieczną ich wymianę.

Więcej szczegółów znajdziesz na stronie CMS.gov.
