Medicare (Executive Session)

In a Senate executive session on Medicare, Senator Maria Cantwell argued for protecting traditional Medicare and said the government should stop using artificial intelligence software to approve or deny care for traditional Medicare patients. She said doctors, not computer programs, should decide what treatments patients need, and that in her home state the software was causing long delays and denials, including for treatments that help patients avoid addictive painkillers.Written by AI from the debate.
