This is an excellent point! "Make things as simple as possible but not any simpler" The solution is not try to keep the current situation and try to simplify (or translate into simple English) the legal contracts, which is pretty much impossible, but change, to the extent possible, the need for complexity. "Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it.

The solution is to reduce the need for doctors to hide behind such high legal walls.
