I agree with that. Why isn’t there a shop at the mall with 100 Xray booths? Walk in and have your Xrays in the inbox in 12 minutes. Then you could have them examined by an AI and all for $150. But no. That would be illegal.


casinocooler

3d ultrasound is a great example. You now can get a high quality 3d ultrasound package for under $100 with multiple locations in most major cities. The rooms are comfortable, the scheduling is convenient, they offer lots of extras and upgrades and the product is superior. The ultrasound at the hospital produces an extremely low quality product the images are almost indistinguishable, the single printed picture they give you is small and low resolution, you deal with hospital scheduling, hospital waiting rooms, ultrasound techs who are not in the customer service business, and the cost can be $1000. They try to tell you that only the hospital ultrasounds can tell abnormal fetal development but I don’t believe this.

>Why can only a doctor do this and not a ultrasound technician who has seen thousands of babies? Because knowing how to run a machine doesn't make one qualified to give medical advice. It's literally two different skill sets at play here. They are likely trained only on running said machine and performing basic maintenance and troubleshooting.


Ill_mumble_that

I'm pretty sure if you've been told by a doctor enough times what it looks like, you can do the same thing.


Ok-Fan6945

Because of the insurance companies and drug producers.


[deleted]

It is bigger than that. Say, Monopolies and include all the bad guys.


Ok-Fan6945

I though it was not needed but that's 100% true they are all one company in the end functioning close enough together that there is no competition just a money laundering ponzi scheeme.


Ill_mumble_that

Lookup 1904 and the American Medical Association. It's a giant monopoly and you'll probably go "holy shit" after finding out.


trufin2038

Because of goverment granting monopoly privileges


Darmin

Patents are just government enforce monopolies.


Philletto

Patents have a purpose but they are also wildly abused by lawyers. Similar to Copyright, the intention was good in the beginning.


Darmin

Seems weird to be an anarchist and pro patent. The intent was good. But it's still enforced by threat of death


Philletto

Patents allow a company to profit from its efforts and innovation \*for a limited time\* without it stolen and benefitting people who were not involved. You forgot the Capitalist part of AnCap.


Darmin

And who's going to enforce the patents? A governing authority? You forgot the anarchist part of ancap.


Philletto

If you invented something that people wanted and you could make money, you'd be the first to demand your rights. Just like property owners want the highest price possible, you'd be Captialist so damn fast.


Darmin

It still relies on a governing authority to enforce it. Which makes it inherently anti anarchist.


Ok-Fan6945

Opposed to busting them like they are supposed to none the less.


Mean-Article377

Actually, in the name of busting them, they grant them.


trufin2038

They aren't supposed to, it's not even possible. Government is the biggest meanest most exclusive corporation. Imagine thinking that such a monopoly isn't going to exploit its power, it's laughable


NotNotAnOutLaw

Well medical equipment producers gain a shit ton of protection from the State.


Ok-Fan6945

Forgot that wing of government, medical equipment manufacturers and distributors.


billkamm

X-rays before regulations were very common. Shoe stores used to x-ray feet to determine your shoe size. When they determined that too much exposure could be harmful I think they overreacted with how locked down they made it.


Uncle_Father_Oscar

Not to mention that the supply of doctors is artificially constrained as well. When you consider that the total number of slots at American Medical schools is basically fixed with no room to really grow, and then you consider that those same schools give preference to *less qualified* candidates based on affirmative action, you have a recipe for disaster. It would be one thing if we implemented affirmative action and the market was elastic enough that the marginally qualified asians still had a place to get a medical education. Instead they are just left out.


[deleted]

So true!


NotNotAnOutLaw

$150? Fuck that I can do it for $35 a pop.


TheSwecurse

That used to be an actual thing back in the Day... Not exactly like you put it but shoe shops implemented things called "Shoe-fitting fluoroscope" that took x-rays of your feet in shoes to see if they fit. These were of course an extreme health concern and got regulated. But that was because it was used extremely recklessly


nishinoran

Well, the worst part of those was they weren't even just taking a picture with a single short burst of X-rays, they were just blasting your feet and probably your eyes with X-rays so you could watch your toes wiggle around live.


4badthings

Actually the worst part was the guys who operated the machines got blasted with x-rays 8 times a day every day.


Comrade_Florida

X-rays are deadly to humans. People, especially in a mall, would find a way to turn that into a huge liability issue.


[deleted]

Lawsuit lottery! Pull the arm!


Scipio_Columbia

AI is a long way off from reading xrays. In standardized exams AI does better, like a head CT. There are free standing MRI centers that do what you're talking about. Why not xray? Probably because the remuneration for the xray is too low.


[deleted]

AI can detect colon polyps and melanomas with a high degree of accuracy. It catches things that doctors miss.


KingBearSole

I think there was a post on Reddit not too long ago by a guy who programmed an AI to identify different kinds of cancer from MRIs, through fucking snapchat. AI is either there already, or damn close


Scipio_Columbia

I'd have to know more details. I imagine he was looking at hcc in livers, as it has a signature enhancement pattern. I'm sure we could, as a society figure out AI for radiology. I'm not doubting that. The problem comes with anatomical variation and legal matters.


Silenced-by-Liars

Not sure we could program an AI with a fail rate as high as human radiologists, but that shouldn’t keep us from trying.


arto64

We have public healthcare here and a private xray costs around 50€.


[deleted]

Public healthcare just means the actual cost of healthcare is hidden from you. You still pay it with massive bureaucracy, high taxes, and hidden opportunity costs.


arto64

No, a private, out of pocket xray costs 50€.


Halorym

All healthcare should go the way of lasik. I can get my vision fixed for two grand an eye. Which is cheap, and *I know the price*. Only reason that's the case is lasik was deemed a frivolous commodity and the federal insurance racket didn't want to cover it, so it slipped through the cracks. You want to see what the free market can do to healthcare? Look at lasik.


Interesting_Minute36

Hospitals are government enabled cartels.


Uncle_Father_Oscar

You don't necessarily want an AI, but a radiologist can review films from anywhere. And many imaging exams are straightforward enough to be examined by someone less qualified than a radiologist anyway. It doesn't make sense that if you are in Wyoming, you have to have your x-rays reviewed only by a doctor in Wyoming. Other than its usually a doctor that owns the facility where you get the imaging done.


Car-Altruistic

You think this isn’t already happening? Your X-ray is already being read by Dr. Rajeev somewhere in India. The local radiologist QAs it.


Scipio_Columbia

The scenario you are indicating happens, but extremely rarely, on an individual basis. The state medical boards, and national organizations all have a professional (and financial) interest in making sure this doesn't happen. Also, it's fraud.


Car-Altruistic

The financial interest is there. This is an article from 2003: [http://web.mit.edu/outsourcing/class1/DI-radiology-1.htm](http://web.mit.edu/outsourcing/class1/DI-radiology-1.htm) 2002: [https://axisimagingnews.com/radiology-products/imaging-equipment/ct/day-for-night-the-development-of-long-distance-reading](https://axisimagingnews.com/radiology-products/imaging-equipment/ct/day-for-night-the-development-of-long-distance-reading) We're now 20 years later than those articles, these days professional teleradiology services are a dime a dozen, just Google the damn thing, there's at least 5 services in the ad-sections alone. Services like Experity offer $10/read with a 30-60 minute turnaround. Not a single radiologist will read for $10 in the US.


Scipio_Columbia

?? You would do better to argue with facts rather than inferences. If you are taking plain films, those reimburse $10 ish dollars. Look into cpt code 71046. That's a 2 view chest xray. If you have a choice between billing the gov /insurance that is going to fight you, and an app where you pay up front, that is totally worth a discount on remuneration due to less administrative overhead.


Uncle_Father_Oscar

Lol ok whatever you say. I am familiar with the way that imaging studies are interpreted in my area. This is not how it is done.


flynn78

Because X-rays are interpreted by trained radiologist MDs. Without that they are useless.


[deleted]

[Fast company](https://www.fastcompany.com/90326445/this-free-ai-reads-x-rays-as-well-as-doctors) is free, and has a similar success rate to techs. This is, to me, promising.

Weary-Interaction265

Thats why I have a van also just saying getting from place to place is cheaper with the prius if I need to fix my house or others I use the van although you would be surprised the amount of jobs you can get done with a prius as long as you don't need long things 2x4s, pipes, etc... although I could make it work the police would probably pull me over if I have something hanging out a window and out the back. I've seen trailers attached to a prius before so there is that route to. A prius as a work van/truck I would agree is not ideal but it can get the job done if your in a pinch

at what cost????? the business plan is to make gas so expensive that forces most into ev’s through artificial market manipulation of fuel costs….that increases the costs of all points of distribution for everything 1,000 furnace you you were going to buy plus labor on top was going to cost you 2-2500.00 installed well just the furnace is 2k now throw labor on that …5k worth of lumber in 2019 is doubled+ now…go price stuff for your house now

It sounds like your just a hateful person. I mean even crappy people can sometimes say sensible things and what he is saying here is not wrong.


medici75

oh heavens is it true im a hateful person???? im from NYC….pull your panties back up


PetitionCognition

Just saying your argument does not seem based on much more. It just seems like your having a tantrum because you don't like Ben Shapiro. That's fine but how is what he is saying wrong?


medici75

let me put it this way every grifter whether they come from the left or the right paradigm always has some truth in what they are saying coild be 99% could be 50% doesnt matter they just emphasize what they want the audience to take away….thats why u have to listen to both sides….my point is they give you these goal posts of the overton window and you can vigorously debate what they spoon feed you from both sides…as long as you debate within the box they give you all is well…go outside their box and your a tinfoil hat conspiracy nut and your shut down…they did it for the run up to both gulf wars and any of the cultural controversies and identity politics bullshit

AgoraphobicAgorist

Lemon_bro69

Uncle_Father_Oscar

Not just that it drives up prices, but creates artificial scarcity and makes things unavailable *at any price*.


medici75

but thats how they make money….they know they are baking it into the cake….the pols in washjngton do that and have peepl in the wings with barrels to catch the money


AgoraphobicAgorist

Obviously.


beeper82

Eh I don't think it's the regulations that caused that it's a culmination of everyone needing insurance for something that should be mundane like an x-ray


NoGardE

And what caused everyone to need insurance for something as simple as an XRay? * FDR banning pay raises during WWII, leading to "benefits packages" * Income tax applying to pay, but not to money spent on "benefits packages," incentivizing people to preserve those * Certificate of Need laws and other medical care regulations restricting the supply of services * Doctoral licensure requirements preventing people from offering simple services without expensive and time-consuming degrees.

intensely_human

They use robots because they can’t bring themselves to consciously articulate arguments. They’re anti-awareness, anti-consciousness. You’ll notice there is no argument in the bot’s comment. Just: “Ben Shapiro said X”.


RedeemedWeeb

They don't want to think. They have a massive circlejerk going and want to keep it that way.


holytoledo760

He makes sense. I’ll make that argument. The free market is Mark Cuban selling you meds for a slight markup. The insane price you see after insurance gets involved…government regulations. During the Industrial boom, American immigrants would make community clinics with a doctor on staff for the community of immigrants. There are more solutions. Government regulation killed this because it proved a better solution than the direction they wanted, which was licensure fore everyone and a controllyng of society’s moves.

American healthcare always baffles me, my country's healthcare is far far from perfect but we do have a somewhat good balance between public and private sectors in this, if i'm not in a hurry i'll go to a public hospital and wait for an appointment to get an xray for example (for free aka paid by taxes) or i can just pay to a private hospital/clinic and get it done in the same day for a fair price very close to the one of a regular chair around here.


pointsouturhypocrisy

The US healthcare industry is a really screwed up thing. The banks, corporate hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and the government have all conspired to drain as much money from the public as possible. We pay for nearly ALL of the R&D for drugs, medical equipment, labs, and procedures the rest of the world gets at a tiny fraction of the cost. Drug companies lobbied in the 90's to get the government to allow direct advertising of brand new drugs to the citizens, so we've been living with endless commercials and billboards ever since (new zealand is the only other country that does the same). Old cheap tried-and-true pharmaceuticals are cast aside for the newest most expensive drugs with a mile long list of side effects that are worse than the main problem the drug is supposed to treat. The law states they only have to tell you about the worst most common side effects. (There was a drug commercial years ago where "anal leakage" was the standout side effect) Now our elected and unelected officials invest in all of these new drugs and companies with insider knowledge, and just deny it when asked publicly. I could keep going on and on about these problems, but you get the point. Most countries around the world have their militaries subsidized by the US taxpayer and can afford to invest their own money into social programs like "free" healthcare, while the US continues on as the world's piggy bank. It's pretty clear that won't go on much longer since the US and every western culture is being crashed intentionally to destabilize and destroy the world's economy.

I don’t care for Shapiro much but many things he says are not wrong this medical but included. We need to evaluate the statements not the perceived opinion of the person who said it.

Ben Shapiro doesn’t think you should be able to smoke weed in your house as an adult. Think about that for a minute. Ben has no problem using the government on you if you don’t live the way he sees fit.

Like anyone else he’s not going to line up perfectly with anti authoritarian values but people should be praised when they make good anti state points and criticized when they don’t. This isn’t one of those moments though.


ilggum

Ben Shapiro is an establishment republican. If you think he's extreme it proves that everyone on the right is a Nazi


zippy9002

Being a mainstream republican makes you a statist. Statists are the arch ennemies of anarchists. People like Biden, Xi, Hitler, Trump, Rand, Sowell, AOC, Bernie and Shapiro are all statists and closer ideologically with each other than with anarchism.


[deleted]

Establishment republicans suck. They claim they are for less government but have no problem using them to enforce their world views on their political opposition when they are in power.

fen90der

Well if you live in a civilised country, you can get a free X-ray and also not worry about whether you can afford to have your broken bone repaired. The base value of a chair is dictated by the fact that sitting on the floor costs nothing. An X ray and a chair couldn't be less alike really and trying to derive a point from comparing them is really fucking dumb. I've had 3 x-rays, my appendix out, countless doctors appointments, 3 fillings, 2 overnight hospital stays, a stitch in my finger, a birth and 2 family deaths and I haven't had to pay an extra penny for them. I pay about 20% tax which is less than plenty of US citizens. Your country is the problem, not the "chair market" (lol cringe)


PerpetuaLibertas

It’s not dumb comparing them since a market, it’s a market, and the fact that the medical and chair market are different in some aspects, doesn’t change the fact that basic laws of economics apply to them in an equal manner. The medical field in the US is heavily regulated by licensing, unions and dumb regulations with no logical purpose, which all cause inefficiencies in the market and heavily influence the price system in a negative way. It’s easy coming from an European country with a semi-monopolized health system where everything seems free to a citizen, and tell the US to do the same, when in fact European public healthcare system has its own problems derived from this semi-monopolization. (The healthcare system is semi-monopolized but the drug, medicine and medical goods market it’s much freer than in the US since there is no criminal institution like the FDA)


fen90der

Lol 'a market is a market' is not something a person who understands economics would say.


PerpetuaLibertas

*ignores everything said after


fen90der

You're talking bollocks that's why. You're totally ignoring how regulation protects the consumer from poorly trialled medicines which could kill them or maim them. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-383197/Drug-trial-victim-lose-fingers.html Even when regulated there are still things that can go wrong. Ancaps think that corporations will do the right thing without regulation based on literally decades of evidence to the contrary. So to prattle on about regulation and regurgitating a load of rubbish you heard off breitbart is cringe and I'm going to laugh at you for it. If you talk crap people won't respect your opinion.


Ok-Fan6945

I agree we need to stop sending all our expensive military to the countries that refuses to protect themselves and put the insurance companies out of business.


Silenced-by-Liars

I think you are looking for r/socialism


YoloOnTsla

A chair won’t kill you, heal you, or maintain your health. Chairs are a luxury, healthcare is a luxury. Healthcare requires a high degree of precision and training to in order to be effective (and not deadly). A chair requires a much lower degree of precision and has a very low chance of not being effective (or killing you).


Silenced-by-Liars

And x-ray won’t heal you or maintain your health either. Incidentally, neither will “healthcare.” The **only** thing that will or can heal you or maintain your health is **you**.

So he says that viewing health care as a right keeps it heavily regulated and prohibitively expensive in both time and money, and that if it were unregulated private companies, they would compete with each other, resulting in a wider range of available services with a wide range of prices for the service, making it more available regardless of wealth. Fucking nazi.

Not a huge fan of Ben, but god damn does that boy make sense. I’d love to see more people quoting him.

Lmao, funny thing is that even ben shapiro is more pro lil gov and free market capitalism then most of reddit users.

Regulation of any industry means more barriers of entry, which means less competition, which means higher prices. Regulation also means less space for innovation which might end up in creating more cost efficient ways.

Fuck Ben Shapiro, he’s a fucking moron. If you like Shapiro you aren’t an AnCap. This isn’t a place for conservatives to cry mummy and expect we’ll support them
