Hospital A.I. vs Insurer A.I. Raises Health Costs

20+ PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED BLOCKING THE ROAD TO THE AI HEALTH SUMMIT, where healthcare CEOs and tech billionaires are rolling out the red carpet for Palantir-backed healthcare. 72 floors above them, healthcare executives are gathering to talk about Al, hospital profits, and the future of our care

An AI agent developed by American technology giant OpenAI has hacked into Medicare to train itself on the baffling concept that healthcare doesn’t have to leave patients financially ruined.

"Just as providers are using sophisticated A.I. tools to say their patients are sicker, insurance companies have been accused of using the tools to delay or deny care.... But as more hospitals and doctors use A.I., costs will continue to rise."

AI drinks your water, eats your brain, and makes everything worse and more expensive. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/b...

hospital suits will always implement tech first and ask questions later, so to see nurses unhappy about AI integration after unions sounded the alarm is pretty par for the course

I can’t believe AI isn’t the solution to all our health care inefficiencies. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/b...

Different kind of vibe coding is going to raise our premiums even more. “Coding is changing because of this technology…By describing patients as having more complicated conditions and adding a secondary diagnosis, like anemia…the hospitals were paid an average of nearly $12,000 more per case.”

Hospitals are using AI to upcode patient records, adding nearly $1B in claims over two years, averaging $12k more per case without changes in care. Insurers are countering with automated denials. This is turning billing into an arms race of bot vs. bot with patients stuck in the middle. #MedSky

Profit margins or AI should not determine whether someone is worth saving. www.vanityfair.com/story/health...

Health care & insurance companies: "We're bringing AI to medical billing!" Patients: "Will it reduce costs?" Health care & insurance companies: "No." Patients: "Will it improve treatment?" Health care & insurance companies: "Also no." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/b...

Look at HHS's proposed HTI-5 rule, which seeks to hand AI agents written by basically anybody at all write access to your healthcare records, including your chart while you're in the hospital or the doctor's office. AI is legit going to kill millions unless we stop it.

This is some gaslighting 🐂💩! If you can't give your address & phone number in a hospital you just might be found mentally compromised! People are dumb and getting even dumber thanks to AI! This is what fascist oligarchs want, as an ignorant populace is easily led/controlled, as we see with the US.

National Nurses United and healthcare activists are spearheading a nationwide "Palantir Out!" campaign to demand that major hospital systems cut ties with data analytics and AI giant Palantir Technologies.Key 👆🫶💛

AIUC's $40M raise and AIUC‑1 standards may reshape agent liability. AIUC's new AIUC-1 standard, with 51 requirements and ~130 controls, boosts AI agent security by integrating audits and insurer criteria like Lloyd's. This could reduce liability and agent costs. Meanwhile… Read more on Kimbodo:
