To what extent is this an exclusively American problem? How much of the health care “tech” opportunity is tied to managing the complicated multi-party bureaucracy of the U.S. system?
The article highlights how docs are spending too much time doing “desktop medicine” related to paperwork and billing. There’s a whole layer of adminstrative staff at every hospital doing this stuff too.
If we get Medicare For All someday, what will the impact be on the healthcare tech startup space?
For example I met someone at a bar the other day whose startup was all about managing medical bills. Consumers can scan their bills and they’ll look for optimizations and payment plans and budgeting or something. This would just go poof under M4A.
