No technology will make it cheaper for YOU, just improve margins for the chain of fleecing between provider and insurance. Demand for healthcare is inelastic like water or air, so they can charge whatever they want and you pay or die. AI will of course amplify your costs while improving their profits.

In short: AI-based tools tend to "upcode" cases and bill for more serious conditions, and more expensive treatment.

(This is not about AI costing too much.)

Gee. I wonder why that would be allowed to happen.

This reads like slop.

The four emboldened headings that make up the whole article sound like they’re straight outta chatgpt:

* what happened

* the devil is in the billing details

* the big but

* bottom line

I’m not sure that I’ve ever read a Fortune article before so maybe this is just their style. But I doubt it.

This story was republished by Fortune from a partnership with Tech Brew: https://www.techbrew.com/stories/ai-healthcare-bills-increas...

If you look at other stories by the same author, such as this one https://www.techbrew.com/stories/openai-token-price-wars-ant... - the "TL;DR", "What happened", "Bottom line" format is consistent across their work. It looks to me like a style guide thing, not necessarily something introduced by LLMs.

Peruse tvtropes.com enough, and you will realize that nothing is ever original, everything follows this or that long-established pattern, and complaining about that is another old trope.

More seriously, I like the fact that articles follow a particular scheme: the problem, exposition, conflict, contemplation. Much like a scientific article follows a similar established pattern.

And emotionally now: complaints about slop are often as schematic as the slop.

They might have a skill or something that goes from report -> 'fortune article' - it honestly would not surprise me.
