None of the actors involved want it fixed. They just say 'it's really complicated and actually our part (insurance/doctors/hospitals) are doing it right, it's all the other parts that are broken.
The nation has wanted to actively fix this since the 90s (30 years ago) and all that has happened is prices have gone up and we added ambulances to the list of unaffordable healthcare. After 30 years my take is no one involved is acting in good faith at this point and 'it's too complex to fix' means we gave you all time to fix it, you didn't, so we need to reboot from the ground up then.
