Comment on Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care. Not so fast, critics say

So … I think there might be a dispute between health insurance companies and these AI doctors .
The insurance companies aren’t going to pay for this.
They barely will pay for telemedicine as it is.
They won’t pay for anything they aren’t legally required to pay for.
They won’t pay for any service unless a court review would say it was medically necessary, and even then, they trying to not pay if they think the person is too poor to take them to court over it.
As much as I hate the greedy bastards. They have also protected us from a lot of pseudoscience health care.
