Seriously?

what makes you think people understand the healthcare system we have
now?

So making it more complex is better? *Wouldn't you think that making
it simpler to deal with would be a better goal?

I don't have trouble understanding my insurance plan. *I have a list
of what is and isn't covered, a formulary sheet that describes what is
covered fully/partially or not at all for prescriptions, a rate sheet
for reimbursement for my outlay, complete description of co-pays that
I'm responsible for and those procedures that are fully covered, a
contact person if I have questions.

How hard is it?

I have a card. Everything in the hospital is covered, including a
semi-private room. Doctor's office visits are covered, with a $10
co-pay. Generic prescriptions require a $5 co-pay, non-generics require
a 20% co-pay. Cosmetic surgery for vanity reasons is not covered, but it
is covered to reconstruct after a disease or an accident. Oh, yeah...80%
of my lasik eye surgery was covered 10 years ago. No need to read
complicated rate sheets, because it all fits on one side of one sheet of
paper. If there's a change, the administrator sends out a note.
Oh...there's a $200 annual deductible.

Unfortunately, most Americans do not have the sort of friendly health
insurance I have.

Herr Krause. most of your fellow citizens don't have a green card like
yours, either.

But no fear. In time that too shall come to pass.
