Comment on Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?

I wish I could Thanos-snap the entire health insurance industry out of existence. It’s a giant, bloated, bureaucratic middle-man that makes the whole process more expensive, time-consuming, and complicated.

I'd assume we'd see insurance invest money into making offers to providers. They'd refer the patient to a health insurance company instead of negotiating, and in exchange they'd get a large one time payout for a successful referral. This would please investors in the providers, because they'd see short term gains, and it'd please the insurance company because patients would be forced to have insurance again. Everyone (with money) wins!
