Each healthcare claim needs to be processed by a person.... they need supervisors above them... and they need people above them to make sure the supervisors are doing their job and aren't scamming money out of the system via fake claims.  I

You need people to call and investigate claims that seem messed up.  Like making sure people dont have ongoing perscriptions for drugs 5 times what anyone would need. (pain killer drug dealers.)

You need to correlate said claims to make sure that hospitals don't have too many coincidences of treating the same thing and investigating those.

You need to have customer service representatives to handle everyone that will call.

Everything you describe is taken into account by 'per capita.'  You only need 1 customer service representative for 500 customers, you only need 1 lawyer for 1000 people.  The more people you have the more of these jobs you need, which goes in line perfectly with the 'per capita' statistic I used.

Its not like for small countries you need 1 lawyer for every 1000 people and for big countries you need 1 lawyer for every 10 people.

No but you need more overseers.  Who need overseers when the adminstration bridge gets high enough.

Infrastructure of buisnesses are like a Pyramid.  The more people you have on the bottom.  The more layers you ened before you get to the guy on top.

I laid this out a while ago, but you ignored it for some reason.  Those customer service reps need a manager.  Those managers need managers above them... etc.

Compare the emoloyee chain of Walmart vs the employee chain of Pops Drugstore.

The only difference is that a government healthcare office really wouldn't be able to negotiate prices like a Walmart does.
