Okay. So we write the check to IBM to improve/license Watson for all of Medicare to use. If doctor's won't accept the payments available, automate what we can, and provide more training to nurses to enable them to fill in.

Yes, I'm advocating for the replacement of doctors in the vast majority of cases. They're like college professors who spend most of their time doing research, while the TAs (Nurses in this case) do all the heavy lifting. Empower the nurses, replace the doctors.

Sorry, but Watson can't do surgery, nor can it instruct a nurse who has no training in surgery how to do surgery.
