I have no idea how they think they could improve actual healthcare itself. We need more doctors, or mid-level provides need more empowerment, I guess, but how's the algorithm gonna do that? Otherwise the vast majority of the complications are on the coding/billing/insurance/health plan side of things.

they probably wont do poo poo, just use data/get more people into a specific ecosystem like they do with whole foods. maybe discount drugs through specific vendors etc.

healthcare is just one of the few industries theyre just not In. and if everyones about to get long covid and boomers are getting older, its a great place to make money!

Tons of Teslas here in suburban Maryland. People with more money than sense needing to virtue signal.

One of the weird genres of videos my dad watches on YouTube are videos taken from the proximity cameras on Teslas. Ever since I realized people actually watch those clips, I've taken to flipping off every Tesla I see.

I am very mature.

Well right now there's a massive shortage of healthcare providers on all spectrums (doctors, midlevels, ancillary staff etc). Even if we made healthcare affordable for everyone there's not going to be adequate staff to safely take care of everyone. That's still one of my huge pet peeves within the healthcare model is that we have massively bottlenecked ourselves to where we are having this massive outflow of providers either retiring, or leaving the workforce due to burnout, unsafe staffing conditions etc etc..

oh, I know, I left nursing years ago and went into healthcare IT, where I never get assaulted by patients and get paid way more. My sympathies still lie with bedside, but I honestly think there's less to squeeze/improve from there other than just having a better ratio of providers and staffing in general. Everything other than clinical care (admin/IT/billing/etc) is all hosed up and most of us could be fired and it would make the world better place.

yeah worth remembering that the accident rates at Amazon delivery centers is like 2-3x higher than comparable distribution centers like ups, FedEx etc., and also way above injury rates for productive factory line jobs. They will destroy people in the name of throughput

I was just in the hospital for a kidney stone and saw doctors for like 30 seconds out of about 48 hours I was there. Not sure how you further optimize that.

I guess Amazon could have just had Peccy come in the screen in my room and said "PASS THE STONE BITCH" and still charged me thousands.

I don't disagree one bit, but a large portion of the bloated healthcare system didn't syphon all of the healthcare providers and put them in non clinical roles. Some absolutely did (your case in point) but if we're looking at it from just a pure workforce issue, we don't have the staff, so now your sepsis admission is gonna cost a stupid amount and your nurse has 7 other patients so lol@getting your vanco on time or someone checking on you while you're sp02 drops to 85

Now the brokenness of why people pay a million dollars for a surgery to help pay for the bloated healthcare system? That I absolutely agree with you

At my insistence, my wife has continued "working" at her soulless corporate WFH job while she accepted an offer at, and is now working for, a conservation organization. She'd initially planned on doing the whole two weeks thing, but decided to try, just... not quitting the other job.

She's put in about 30 minutes of work a day and is now two weeks into the new job while she continues to get paid by the old one. Her boss may finally be starting to notice that she is literally never available during the day, but she knows how to game the Salesforce dashboard to make it look like she's doing something. We're now up to four weeks of pay from the old job that she wouldn't have received if she'd played by the rules.

It's been quite disillusioning for her since she used to be the most productive member of the team and she still isn't the least productive despite doing almost nothing.
