A bureaucracy results in controlling the payout of money. Once people's paychecks are tied to running or working in a bureaucratic system, it's hard to get rid of them. Mostly because they can show how many requests for cash were denied and the savings they achieved which were passed on to the taxpayer or to the stockholders. A Fortune 500 company will find it easier to negotiate a good plan with easier money for it's employees typically, but a mom and pop shop doesn't have the negotiation power to make the insurance companies pay out. And just because it's a benefit today, doesn't mean DOGE (or whoever next in power) will enshittify it.
