The part about automating regulators is what really gets me. Once you automate the oversight, you've essentialy created a closed loop where the same company profiting from healthcare also controlls who gets to challenge their decisions. The de-identifcation stuff was already sketchy enough, but this whole Oracle/Cerner acquisition is basically a masterclass in how to consolidate power over critical infrastructure without anyone paying attention until it's way too late. Really appreciate you digging into the past tense language Ellison used. That's such a red flag that this isn't hypothetical anymore.
