The US doctor has an incentive to overmedicalise the patients as he'll make more money by upselling stuff they don't need. An AI assisting the diagnosis is detrimental to that as the AI will be doing the upselling and getting the kickbacks from those "ask your doctor about" advertisers.

A doctor could choose to see 20 people a day and charge $100 each, or see 10 people a day and charges $200 each. Indeed perhaps there's an incentive to see fewer people as they'll pay the same hourly rate but cost less to treat as they're just paying $250 an hour to talk about last night's game.

Reality is though that 28% of US people have to wait more than a day to see a doctor, far higher than Germany, UK, Sweden and Norway.

> A common misconception in the U.S. is that countries with universal health care have much longer wait times. However, data from nations with universal coverage, coupled with historical data from coverage expansion in the United States, show that patients in other nations often have similar or shorter wait times.

So perhaps AI could help with the disfunctional american system afterall.
