The Doctor Will See Your Credit Score Now

mytrip writes to mention that the same people who invented credit scores are working to create a similar system for hospitals and other health care providers. "The project, dubbed "MedFICO" in some early press reports, will aid hospitals in assessing a patient's ability to pay their medical bills. But privacy advocates are worried that the notorious errors that have caused frequent criticism of the credit system will also cause trouble with any attempt to create a health-related risk score. They also fear that a low score might impact the quality of the health care that patients receive."

    Yes, more code for "fuck the poor". Jesus is extremely pleased.

    Yes, churches are all quite capable of opening multimillion dollar healthcare facilities. And so they should, so that you can continue being a sociopath with no sense of charity.

    Jesus loves you, you sick sociopathic monster. Heaven has a special place for the greedy, where they never have to worry about the poor again.

    God bless America, a culture based solely on you.

    A long-winded way of saying "fuck the poor".

    America, the civilization of the sociopath. And yes, all those poor are all lazy bastards, fuck 'em. Jesus loves the greedy, and despises the poor, and he loves big ol' generalizations about who makes up the poor.

    I'm sure the poor guy who can't afford chemo will be glad that the reason you want to deprive of him of life-saving healthcare is to preserve his liberties. God bless you, you rationalizing sociopath!

    Hey, my argument is that Jesus loves your sociopathic nature, your fundemental belief that those who can't afford health care can all get stuffed. I mean, I supporting you here, you sociopathic mastermind, and I get this kind of treatment? I mean we both know the poor deserve it, they're lazy and stupid, I mean, money is absolutely everything. Nothing else matters. Healthcare should be solely determined by profits. Jesus loves profits, and he loves sociopaths like you.

    Jesus bless you.
