"EFF sued the government back in March for information about the Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction (WISeR) model, a new Medicare program that uses AI to evaluate prior authorization requests for certain medical services. Today, we’re releasing approximately 1,000 pages of records obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through this litigation, including contracts with tech companies, internal status reports and providers’ complaints about the program. The documents (available here) show that WISeR has resulted in widespread delays and denials of care, operational chaos, and reports of patient harm."

In my rural state of #Vermont, and I presume others, all the #hospitals have ceased to operate birthing centers and #OBGYN clinics due to the Big Beautiful Budget elimination of #Medicaid and imminent scrapping, at this years' end after midterm elections, to the #Medicare reimbursements upon which hospitals have also been made to rely. Meanwhile the Private #Insurance (reimbursement-collection & service-denial) Industry has been greenlighted to raise premiums out of reach for a third to half of households while remaining nonresponsible for any such coverage. People are opting not to seek care.
Probably all coincidental. #healthcare #medicalNews #healthNews #financialNews #redistribution #plutocracy #plunder #healthcareIsAHumanRight #nvma

For folks on Medicare or about to be, DO NOT be tempted to call Chapter for "free Medicare advice". It was co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy and:
"The startup has at least historical links to the Trump administration, including to current Vice President JD Vance and tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who helped fuel Vance's rise in politics. Narya Capital, which Vance founded before leaving to run for office, led Chapter's Series A funding; Thiel has invested in the company, and at one time, held a seat on the board, according to TechCrunch.
Blumenfeld-Gantz said Vance has no involvement in Chapter.
It's worth noting Ramaswamy was previously involved with the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), along with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, which critics say could affect Medicare's ability to perform business as usual."

Mills: Oz's fraud allegations pull from 'malicious playbook' for targeting #Trump's political foes
Maine Public | By Steve Mistler
Published February 9, 2026"Gov. #JanetMills says the #Trump administration is using findings from a routine social services audit to drum up allegations of fraud for political purposes. The governor's comments follow threats from a top #Medicaid official to cut off the state's federal funding.
"In the past several days, Centers for #Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator #MehmetOz has made allegations of widespread fraud in Maine's social services programs, at one point drawing comparisons to the scandal unfolding in #Minnesota.
"In a recently posted social media video, the former celebrity TV doctor suggested that Maine could lose its federal Medicaid funding.
" 'If we don't like what we see, CMS will work with Maine to put their house in order. And if we're not satisfied with their progress, we reserve the right to cut off their payments entirely,' he said.
"Those threats follow a recent audit by the Office of Inspector General that found the state made $45.6 million in improper payments to providers for #autism services. That review, initiated during the Biden administration, did not allege fraud, which is different than improper payments. However, the state may have to pay back $28.7 million to the federal government.
"Mills, a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate, said in a statement Monday that Oz's statements mark another example of the Trump administration's 'malicious playbook' of targeting its political opponents.
" 'Let’s be clear about what this is: Maine is facing a political attack from a president who uses allegations of fraud as a pretense to send (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and other weaponized federal agents into states led by Democrats with devastating consequences,' she said in a statement."
