Health insurance. All the terms (co-pay, co-insurance, deductible, premium, etc.) with non-obvious meanings. The delicate dance between me, the insurer, and the health provider when a bill needs to be paid. The whole thing feels scuzzy.

I would probably be more proactive about seeing a dentist or getting a physical if I knew I didn't have the headache of dealing health insurance on the other side of it.

And this is with good (I think) employer-provided health insurance! I can't even imagine the situation on the individual market.
