If you're ever told to be outraged about anything having to do with health insurance and the sole source of the outraged framing is the American Society of Anesthesiologists, just move on because you're being played like a fiddle by the major cause of out-of-network balance billing
Read a little bit more about this, and goddammit we're getting played you guys. The original link from the ASA is very dishonest. They are moving to the CMS standard for anesthesia billing. In other words, they are going to pay the same way they do for Medicare and Medicaid.
This is not to defend Anthem in any way, but that viral article about anesthesiologists is published by their cartel. There's a reason it's one of the highest paid specialties, and why a very common surprise medical bill is for an out of network anesthesiologist on an in-network surgery

It's no secret that foundational models have transformed (teehee) some tasks (e.g. NLP) and "lift-and-shift" has been broadly successful there. That said, for other tasks, "simple" models are still competitive/better. I had suspected time-series modeling is one such domain
