Are you prepared for your doctor or nurse practitioner to be replaced by an algorithm? Well, H.R. 238 by Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.), could do just that. Here is the bill as it has been introduced:
To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to clarify that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can qualify as a practitioner eligible to prescribe drugs if authorized by the State involved and approved, cleared, or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, and for other purposes.
Reducing the human equation in medical care may seem like a good idea since all of us, at one time or another, have fought with our medical insurance companies, and everyone has more than enough reason to distrust Big Pharma. But if you are tired of dealing with faceless entities that see you only as a number, wait until you try to appeal a decision by AI. Wait until you have to sue AI for malpractice.
Just for kicks (and a little dose of irony), I asked ChatGPT if there would be any problems with an AI prescriber. Why not ask AI about AI? Well, ChatGPT did not think that an AI doctor was all Schweikert thinks it may be cracked up to be. Here is the response:
- **Lack of Human Judgment**: AI may not consider the nuances of a patient’s unique medical history, emotional state, or lifestyle factors that a human healthcare provider would.
- **Data Bias**: If the AI is trained on biased datasets, it may not make accurate recommendations for all patient populations, leading to health disparities.
- **Errors in Dosage or Interaction**: AI might miscalculate dosages or fail to recognize harmful drug interactions, potentially putting patients at risk. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
