Dont fucking use this. Let it lose money so it goes away. Amazon is awful enough and if this shit trend continues, Meta will get into healthcare too using posts, tracking cookies and purchases on the platform too.
AI doctors are probably going to be a thing whether we want them or not, one way or another in the near future. I don’t think it’ll be going away.

In my opinion, I think that properly done AI assisted doctors are a good thing. Doctors have to keep track of so much stuff that is constantly changing, just to make a diagnosis. AI guidance can and will help.
Keyword being “properly” which is probably not going to be the case.
This isn’t a good alternative either. From reading the article it looks like this service is meant to screen less serious issues, and if those less serious issues need an in person doctor visit, you’ll need insurance.
The deeper problem is that if our personal data is gold, our medical data is diamonds. It may not be tomorrow, or a decade from now, but I guarantee any sort of contact non-medical corporations make with our medical data will result in a darker dystopia.
Targeted ads will be more invasive. Insurance premiums can be increased for “unhealthy” purchases. Medical coverage can be denied based on economic decisions. The list can go on. We would pretty much get a more perverse profit driven medical system if companies like Amazon start wiggling their way into medicine. Also regulations won’t keep us safe, you can thank lobbying for that.
The service doesn’t cover most healthcare so you’re still stuck with One Medical’s bills, which (if reviews on Trustpilot are correct) tend to be higher than traditional medical. They still bill to your insurance if you have it.

Can you tell me why?
Healthcare is already heavily corporatized in the US, this is just another worsening step.
Have you used this service? Can you tell me if it’s better or worse than other medical services available?
I haven’t yet.
A poster above has.
I don’t trust Amazon to shop with.
I expect it’s only a matter of time before there’s a huge HIPAA violation when we find out they’re using health info to sell us shit.
😂
The hate for Amazon is real here I guess.

So if you can’t afford traditional insurance which is 100% a scam then why is this a bad alternative?
