Its the fundamental problem of our age: everyone is building pieces of a system, and almost no one is actually looking at how those pieces fit together into a system.
This is not about (just) the healthcare system ... it's the core problem with:
- our legal system (millions of laws and rulings and zero effort spent reconciling them into a good system that treats everyone equally)
- our economic system (we reward people who create true wealth in many different ways ... but those rewards are wildly disproportionate to how much true wealth they add)
- our tax system (again, millions of laws, and yet the people who should be paying the most pay the least because of how they fit together)
- our electrical system (although, due to its centralization, this one is actually catching up much faster than the rest)
- insert any other system here
