Going one step further, just eliminate insurance, and the entire billing system becomes unnecessary.
My mom had an experience in a country with national health care. She got injured while hiking, and got treated at the clinic in the first town she reached. Whey they were done, she asked how to pay. They said: "You don't pay for health care." Well, what about foreigners? It turned out they simply didn't have any way of figuring out a price or taking her money. Those mechanisms didn't exist. It was probably cheaper for them to dish out free care to a few foreigners, than to manage a complete billing and collection infrastructure.
Imagine how many humans are spending their lives doing busy work. We can free them up to do better things.
Imagine how many good doctors have to join a medical factory where they churn out patients and slap big bills. Going solo doesn’t make sense.
Just the way cloud made it so Indie hackers can build great products with a small team, Healthcare needs this “cloud” like system which takes care of all the unnecessary bullshit related to insurance and payments so they can focus on the core of providing great service and making people healthier.
