It's official. After 3 months of back and forth, a major medical provider has elected to drop me as a patient for not having a Google or Apple device.

It is unclear if this is legal, but it is very clearly discriminatory and unethical.

Any tech journalists or lawyers interested interested in this?

I would like to do anything I can to ensure this never happens to anyone else.

Duopoly is only part of the problem, the fact that it becomes mandatory to have a smartphone is already pretty bad, even if there were forth or fifth choice 🤷
