A routine phone call follow-up with a physician was cancelled 48 hours ahead of time and I was told to drive for an hour to their office. I asked why, and finally learned that, with the government shutdown, Brown Health couldn't charge me for a telehealth call, but they could charge me in person. I told them to forget about it. Both their intent and their implementation is representative of health monoliths today.“First do no harm” has become “move any harm from us to them.”
