Clankers: If you need another excuse to go Sarah Connor mode, starting January 1, Washington will be one of six states participating in a new federal AI-assisted Medicaid program called “Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction.” Until now, our state’s Medicaid recipients didn’t need prior authorization (permission) for most services. But the magic of Artificial Intelligence will help determine whether or not they qualify for services like pain management, cervical fusion, arthroscopic knee surgery, and impotence treatment.

    To top it off: The evil feds have set up a twisted profit incentive. These AI companies will be “compensated based on a share of averted expenditures.” In other words, they’ll get a cut. The more claims the companies deny, the more money they get.

    just sickening.

    Yeah, too many people get things like cervical fusion for fun. It’s rampant, some women are getting, 3? 4? Even more? Where is the morality? They’re laughing at us. This country is at a tipping point and the hordes of immigrants are coming, they’re animals I call them, and they bring their black magic voodoo religions to perform these cervical fusions. And it’s all fake, all fake news. They are always saying that fusion is 30 years away but we’ve been hearing that one for -tssssss- a long time, a long, long time, and nothing. And suddenly the Democrat hoax is that women’s bodies are so far ahead? Unbelievable. This is what they call progressive but it’s just the woke mind virus or as I call it, Trump Derangement Syndrome.

        You are saying these ladies are doing cellular nucleus fusion with cervixes in their spines? Next you’re gonna tell me that they’ve got a sphincter in the esophagus and areolas in the eyeballs.
