Racist Hospital Algorithms are denying sick niggers medical care

[Whitey Ford]

Computers are racist. LOL
Technology biased against black patients runs rampant in hospitals

According to researchers, the algorithm was disproportionately suggesting more white patients for a continued care program than black patients, even when black patients were sicker. Only 17.7% of black patients were getting additional care, when 46.5% of them should have been, the report found. The algorithm is used across health systems and is estimated to impact about 100 million people around the country, according to both STAT and the Washington Post.

The bias appears to stem from how the system, which the Washington Post identifies as being made by the health services company Optum, quantifies what it means to be sick. Rather than using illness or biological data, the algorithm uses cost and insurance claim information to understand how healthy a person is. The more dollars spent, the logic goes, the sicker a person is. The data revealed that less was being spent on black patients in part because they were receiving less care. Notably, the study points, algorithms based on cost are widely used in health care.

Shame it's not a mugshot.
That nigger's a boot-in for biggest lips for the radio show contest!

A nigger shouldn't get any treatment in a hospital any more than a dog or cat. Send the niggers to a veterinarian, at most.

Actually, if a dog or a cat was in bad enough shape, and a hospital was there with staff able to do something, I'd make an exception. But not for niggers.

Translation: Insuracne companies are wise to malingering niggers and that is racist!

[White Orchid]

Sounds like insurance (*koffMedicaidkoff*) is finally wising up and seeing niggers for what they are: fakers and drug seekers.

Grafting a baboon's ass onto the face of that thing is likely a great improvement. Veterinary medicine and cosmetic surgery is indeed making advancements.

Niggers deserve no medical or any kind of human aid. They have their own system and pharmacists. And if they deserve it, the State can give them the medications reserved for them.

Must be that part of the code with the 'IF [NAME] contains (apostrophe)'...
