It's not. Why ? Because 25 pct or more of a doctor's time is spent dealing with conglomerates that do all they can to make the doctor's care more difficult, and expensive, for both the doctor and patient. For every future agent we give AI doctors to deal with this friction, and to improve the quality of care, the conglomerates will have multiple adversarial agents doing all they can to delay and deny, to minimize their cost and maximize their float We see this already as the conglomerates use AI to find every possible way to manipulate contracts, and find ways to mislead, while hospitals hire companies for Revenue Cycle Management, who charge as much as 10 pct of revenue to have their agents try to do the reverse. It's the agentic version of Mad magazine Spy vs Spy I'll give you a further example. There isn't a single company, including yours, that knows the actual cost of the care they purchase for your employees and families. Not one. Cost is an important component of health care decision making. @a16z includes costs in defining its benefits. But you are blind to all but the total bill you pay. Your carrier, your ASO, your PBM, any company that touches the economics of care for your company is going to do everything they can to prevent you from using AI doctors or agents successfully If you want to see that change, stop working with the healthcare conglomerates. Write agents that define , optimize and contract directly with providers, to eliminate the uncessary middlemen. Feel free to use costpluswellness.com to train them. Until the conglomerates are disintermediated , HC in this country will continue to be fucked
