Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, criticized the U.S. healthcare system, claiming it operates optimally under its flawed design, reflecting a profit-driven model that perpetuates chronic illness. He announced a $200 million investment in a new clinic in Gillette, Wyoming, which will serve around 15,000 patients under a patient-first, pay-if-you-can model. Hoskinson highlighted the dysfunction in how doctors are compensated, which discourages personalized and coordinated care; instead, he proposed a model focused on patient-centered care utilizing AI and blockchain. The AI would enhance medical knowledge and assist physicians without replacing them, while blockchain technology could improve privacy and streamline patient data management. Hoskinson aims to open-source the clinic's protocols and software to promote replication and innovation in healthcare nationwide.
