Dr. Mehmet Oz is pitching a controversial fix for America’s rural health care crisis: artificial intelligence.
“There’s no question about it — whether you want it or not — the best way to help some of these communities is gonna be AI-based avatars,” Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said recently at an event focused on addiction and mental health hosted by Action for Progress, a coalition aimed at improving behavioral health care. He said AI could multiply the reach of doctors fivefold — or more — without burning them out.
The AI proposal is part of the Trump administration’s $50 billion plan to modernize health care in rural communities. That includes deploying tools such as digital avatars to conduct basic medical interviews, robotic systems for remote diagnostics, and drones to deliver medication where pharmacies don’t exist.
They already are. Look, name one other president that said anything close to ‘take their guns first, due process second’ or outright said a citizens’ murder by law enforcement was justified due to carrying a legal CCW with additional ammo?
Conservatives got played like a fucking fiddle, and they’re happy about it because minorities are suffering. Their only regrets is they’re getting hurt along with them.
