I think every business wants to bill on value not usage. That's where the real money is made. If a diagnosis is worth $100 and takes $1 worth of tokens you want to bill as close to $100 as you can. Right now they're billing $1 and barely making money.
- ahtihn 4mo agoWhat makes the diagnosis "worth" $100? Right now it requires a highly paid human which sets a floor on the cost. If there's competition from LLMs it's going to drive down the cost.

- ahtihn 4mo agoAnd who is the customer? Healthcare market is completely distorted. Price isn't linked to value because the person that uses a service is usually not the person directly paying for it. Worse, the price usually isn't known upfront, so no one is making a rational decision based on "value".
