Working in healthcare/insurance right now and I can tell it's a very similar tangle of rules about which insurance plan covers what. The mess that's US healthcare ties up at least a trillion dollars a year in servicing its complexities. While it pays my bills, it pains me that a country can self-inflict such penalties just to not have some sort of government provided universal healthcare system.
