Summary

Americans have not lost their health insurance. What they have lost is the ability to afford using it. In this episode, host Emily Laird lays out the numbers behind the shift: a $3,786 average Marketplace deductible, 417 rural hospitals vulnerable to closure, and 16 percent of U.S. adults who now ask a chatbot whether they are sick enough to see a doctor. Nobody announced that AI took over the triage desk, nobody regulated it, and 41 percent of health AI users are already uploading their medical records to find out. 🎯 JOIN THE AI WEEKLY MEETUPS https://www.uwstout.edu/ai-weekly-meetup 📩 EMAIL REMINDERS FOR THE MEETUPS https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/2101263/1779703/ 💬 CONNECT WITH EMILY LAIRD ON LINKEDIN http://www.linkedin.com/in/meet-emily-laird
