Health insurance in the United States is incredibly complex, filled with deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance, narrow networks and more. Why is our system such a maze? Is it the unintended product of decades of patchwork policies, or is the complexity intentional?

In this episode of CareTalk, hosts David E. Williams and John Driscoll break down the real reasons health insurance is so hard to navigate, exploring the structural fragmentation of the system, the role of intermediaries like PBMs and brokers, the impact of convoluted billing practices, and what meaningful simplification would actually look like.
