It's amazing that someone can go through this and come to the conclusion, at the end, that the solution is that this is a business opportunity that would make a lot of money if someone could just make it more efficient. Trying to make money off of healthcare is exactly how we have gotten the absolute mess that is the American medical system. All the incredibly complex rules exist so that health insurance companies can elect _not_ to pay for things that were deemed necessary by a medical professional. If insurance companies would be willing to pay for the services that were needed, there would be no 1600 page rule books. Of course, a system that actually paid for the care that people needed wouldn't be so obscenely profitable for them, and so they lobby massively against it.
