A healthcare provider I used in the past had these things, absolutely hated how they used dark patterns to try to get people to consent to this crap. Really wish the US had more backbone to fight these kinds of practices.

- screamingninja 4y agoWhat is an example of a sustainable governance where capital is not prioritized?
- ceejayoz 4y agoThe EU's GDPR is a good example of privacy prioritized over corporate profit. Not prioritized at all is not what the parent poster alleged.
- screamingninja 4y ago> Not prioritized at all is not what the parent poster alleged. Sorry, but I interpret "entirely run by capital" differently.
- ceejayoz 4y ago"entirely run by capital" and "not at all run by capital" are not the only two options. There's a very wide spectrum between the two. Again, GDPR is an example of this; so's the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund versus, say, Alaska's oil dividend.
- screamingninja 4y agoExactly my point, thank you. EU GDPR is a great example. There is a wide spectrum between the two that the parent commenter appeared to disregard.
- ceejayoz 4y agoThey didn't disregard it at all. > The US is entirely run by capital. If its profitable it'll be allowed even if it harms peiple None of this wording excludes the following: "In contrast to the US, Europe is not entirely run by capital. If it's profitable it may not be allowed if it harms people."

- DavidPeiffer 4y agoI have my primary care provider and a specialist both in the same health network. PCP check-in is trivial (and through the same service). But at the specialist, the only way to complete the check-in process is to check a box allowing them to contact friends and family in pursuit of collecting money for unpaid bills. It specifies that it's not required, but I also cannot complete the check-in process on the tablet without checking. Such a bad dark pattern. I have previously checked the box, then ask the receptionist to immediately remove my authorization and print a confirmation. And it's not just unchecking the box, she's adding an exception note on my account. I doubt it'd be respected correctly if I ever had a bill go to collections. I do raise a stink with the receptionist every time and she's good about it, but should probably escalate it higher in the organization.

It's not the receptionist's problem, he/she just wants to get on with their day. Generally they're powerless to do anything anyway. Last time I went to urgent care they had one of those screenless digital signature collection pads. "I just need you to sign a couple intake forms" and she motioned at the pad. I asked what I am signing, and she said "just some intake forms." She looked at me like I had six heads when I asked to see the actual forms, as if no one had ever done that before, then took a few minutes to find them. Felt bad for making her life harder. Makes me wonder if something like that is even contractually valid: how can you collect a signature "on" a form that you don't even show the signer?
