It's amazing how so much of healthcare tech is designed to plug holes in a healthcare system that's very specific to the US. Personally I'd be worried about growth if I were a founder: can this expand to other countries? What if the US moves to a public healthcare system one day?

Health Tech Product Builder here - thinking about expansion outside of the United States is a champagne problem that they can solve later and also:

lol on public option. We are barely keeping the lights on at the FDA, CDC and VA. The administration is trying to defund every public service it can think of.

On the other hand, healthcare administration headcount has grown over 1000% since 1970, and few things grow as fast. Feels like plenty of runway.

reversing denied health insurance claims only changes who pays for it (end of the day premiums will probably go up proportionatly), it does nothing to reduce the overall cost which is a much bigger problem.

I can imagine one person in this arrangement who cares quite a lot about who pays.

These tech solutions for social/political problems are astonishingly wasteful. Capitalism is so ridiculously inefficient

Compared to what, and measured by what?

In this case, socialized medical insurance, like all other developed countries have.
