Is this complexity really necessary? Other insurances are also meh, but Medicare takes complexity to the next level.

I work in the health insurance space too, and we're gearing up to take on Medicare and improve it. He's not wrong. A lot of the dead weight is due to government bureaucracy.

Relatively easy, yes, but also probably the insurance with the most restrictions in my experience.

Having worked in the health insurance space for the last two years, this does make me wonder about the complexity of the system at large.

Might it be more efficient and less expensive if we got rid of the entire industry and just had tax dollars fund access to actual healthcare? Possibly, if we can solve obesity and smoking first. Getting rid of health insurance as a mandatory system would unemploy a shit ton of people though. The revenues seen in the industry are gigantic.
