For the first time, scientists in China reprogrammed a woman's fat cells to turn them into insulin-making pancreatic cells that reversed her type 1 diabetes.

While western use of AI centres on largely pointless stuff like generative models, this is the type of innovation in medical AI that's unfolding in China at the moment.

A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to #Texas Emergency Rooms
==

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

TL;DR: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has explicitly stated that health insurance companies are prohibited from using algorithms or artificial intelligence (AI) to deny coverage or determine care for members on Medicare Advantage plans. The CMS memo emphasizes that coverage decisions must be based on the individual patient's circumstances, and AI tools can only be used to ensure compliance with coverage criteria.

Europeans love to ridicule Americans for not having affordable health care. They just don't understand: it's a different culture.

Metrarail billboard reading, "Take the easy way out."


In Germany, the national healthcare system is optional. If you don't want it, don't register for it, don't pay into it, don't help the unworthy.

However, once out of the system, there is no way back in. In later life, you'll be treated by private insurance companies like an American.

That's how it works. It is a system based on fear.
