The ai they use is also not intended to separate those who need care from those who don't, instead the ai is meant to separate those who would successfully appeal against the decision from those who wouldn't. This is how the UHC denial rate was able to shoot up so fast: from 10.9% in 2020 to 32% in 2023. There have to be a lot of excess deaths, personal bankruptcies and homelessness hiding behind that statistic.

There's at least one chronic pain patient who allegedly took it out on one CEO, causing one excess death. It'll be nuts if his jury nullifies his alleged crime
