    Yup, exactly this. Insurance companies don’t want to keep doctors on their payroll, because they’re expensive and inconvenient when the doctor occasionally says that medical care is necessary. But they want to be able to back up their claim denials, so they’ll need to keep some whipped doctors around who will go in front of an appeal and say “nah this person doesn’t actually need chemo. They’ll be fine without it. It’s not medically necessary.”

    Now they’ll be able to just spin up an AI, get it licensed, and then never let it actually say care is necessary. Boom, now they’re able to deny 100% of claims if they want, because they’re expensive have a “licensed” AI saying that care is never necessary.
