I really don't like talking about political/personal stuff, but I think this is important..

I was just denied health insurance as a spouse (my husband's new job) because I couldn't prove I was married to my husband. Reason: new "federal policy". First I had to show a birth certificate, not a real ID or SS#, to prove my identity, and then I had to show my marriage certificate. Since the marriage cert. has my birth name, they don't consider it proof I am a spouse. Really.

This is the fear. Hospital systems and administrators will ruthlessly cut costs even if it puts patients in jeopardy. Its worse when a private equity takes over.

And you bet they will lean on AI to try to cut costs and be willing to eat the occasional suit (or settle under an NDA which happens A LOT)

This is a system that made OVER 1.5 billion in revenue over expenses in 2024.
