What's wild is that if you replaced them with a single payer system or whatever else, you would still have a lot of bureaucratic work that needs to get done by the new system, so most if not all of those jobs would still exist - they would just shift from trying to deny people care to trying to connect people to care.

lol you don’t think a government’s single-payer office is going to be tasked with trying to deny people care?

If so, why not? Why wouldn’t those government people’s orders be “Make sure people don’t use too much medical resources”

Well, if the government is accountable to the people, then pressures from below should shape its policies. But in America as-is I suppose you're right that there would be no reason to think that that would happen, only a proletarian democracy can truly ensure that a government is responsive to the needs and desires of the people.
