BTW -- The author (Cathy O'Neil) is awesome. This particular problem has always existed in insurance. The best way to make a profit is to not insure sick people. I was hoping the cautionary tale was that it didn't work for the insurer, rather than it being a ripoff for the customer. Digging a little deeper, it looks like their plan is to implement a telemedicine+drug kiosk system at Chinese scale which is interesting. That should work. Their PR person claims they hit 80% 'positive' rate on detecting lies using micro-expressions. Seems... unlikely. When the dust settles, it will probably just turn out that that preventing people from lying about identity so you can't escape your past has all the value and the rest of it is worthless to the insurer. https://www.mobihealthnews.com/content/ping-good-doctor-showcases-ai-powered-unstaffed-clinics https://www.mobihealthnews.com/content/ping-good-doctor-show... https://www.forbes.com/sites/shuchingjeanchen/2018/06/06/chinese-giant-ping-an-looks-beyond-insurance-to-a-fintech-future/#af5feab48f33 https://www.forbes.com/sites/shuchingjeanchen/2018/06/06/chi...
