Artificial Intelligence & Healthcare
By Karen Schumacher
There should never be any justification or condoning of a deliberate murder of another human being. As efforts are underway to find the murderer of the United Healthcare CEO, the evil individual who committed this heinous act has apparently left behind a clue to explain his actions. And it appears it may have something to do with healthcare insurance.
United Healthcare (UHC) is a provider of health insurance that originated in 1974, having only exponentially grown since that time, along with its worth. Like most large corporations, discovering when UHC became a World Economic Forum (WEF) member is difficult. However, as a WEF member, UHC is expected to follow the path WEF lays out in healthcare.
In 2023, UHC was sued for using a faulty artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that denied coverage for care to its members. Called nH Predict, the algorithm program used by UHC has a 90% error rate. Humana is another health insurer being accused of using the same product.
The algorithm compares “a patient’s diagnosis, age, living situation, and physical function to similar patients in a database of 6 million patients. In turn, the model spits out a prediction for the patient’s medical needs, length of stay, and discharge date.” According to the lawsuit in both the UHC and Humana cases, based on the algorithms, patients are prematurely released from hospitals and then denied medical payments for needed ongoing care. And, as can be seen, physician recommendations for patient care aren’t included in the equation.
There is no healthcare privacy in spite of what everyone is led to believe. Medical insurance companies have total access to every detail of information in medical records which is then used solely for the purposes of generating better profits, not better healthcare.
Could it be that the algorithmic model is programmed to predict a patient’s date of discharge that incidentally “coincides with the date their insurer cuts off coverage”? One aspect to remember is that these computer programs are developed by human beings. The program doesn’t spit out anything that hasn’t been entered by a human and then programmed for an outcome.
Predictive modeling, as was used in nH Predict, is a concept that was created in Agenda 21 (35.12(c)) to determine human impacts on the environment. However, with the expansion of computer technology and now AI, modeling has clearly become more prevalent in other areas such as predicting the future of the world. Patient health records, so conveniently initiated by Obama, now provide the needed data for analysis in healthcare. However, as seen in the case of Covid, these predictive model results are often full of errors.
But this narrative fits right in with the way in which technocracy works, the scientific management of healthcare for a human. There is no consideration given to the fact a human being is involved, it is strictly based on numbers and data, and what brings a greater profit. With technocracy, WEF has big plans for humanity and its healthcare.
Our trustworthy government has expanded regulations to ensure this travesty of not receiving necessary care doesn’t happen again and that individual circumstances are taken into account. There is no way on God’s green earth that a computer program can be created to take into account the unique differences between human beings, it requires a human being. A human being is not a diagnosis, or a number, or a being that can be identified by predetermined characteristics. Every human is unique.
As this agenda continues to march forward, a world being initiated by WEF and its use of technology, it will continue to create a technocratic world over humans. What must be remembered is who is in control of that technology and how it can be used against humans. An example of that has been exposed with this tragic case of human lives lost.
