Don’t disagree here, but particularly with companies, how would this be enforced/audited? There are a lot of time inefficiencies in the world which continue to exist because the externalities are never internalized by the service provider.
Excellent question… I don’t think there can be a one-size-fits-all solution. However, I think the problem has become a crisis. We seem to spend vastly more time dealing with this nonsense than a few decades ago. So just raising awareness of the phenomenon is a good first step.
In this specific case, it seems like there’s a pretty straightforward regulatory action that would go a long way toward a fix:pic.twitter.com/CuYvzktjEW
Interesting, I’ll take a look. But in the context of healthcare, I wonder if either party really wants a standardized interface? A lot of the business terms between providers and insurance companies are individually negotiated, so paperwork may vary ever so slightly
I don’t know whether they want it. Maybe the reason they don’t have it is that they don’t! But there does seem to be a good case for regulation imposed whether or not they want it, because of overall efficiency gains.

You might enjoy reading An American Sickness if you haven’t already. It goes into depth of how the US healthcare is pretty much the ultimate failure mode of capitalism and regulation. The historical context is great. Very much echoes that same sentiment you shared in more detail
