As a UKer, it strikes me the US system of health insurance is just inefficient, even if only from a time management perspective.

Do 300M people really have to negotiate their own insurance, and research carefully all the terms and conditions and so on?

No, generally we have less than four options for insurance provided by our employer. When we are not employed, most of us cannot afford to carry insurance.

Do 300M people really have to negotiate their own home purchases/rent? Or cable tv? Or car insurance? Or home/renters insurance?

Why do you single out health insurance?
