I don't get why I need a middleman between me and my doctor! As a person who comes from a 3rd world country that has universal healthcare, this sounds insane to me.

Yep it's insane. Healthcare shouldn't be a for-profit business FFS.

It’s not insane if you’re on the consumer side. If you’re in the corporate bonus structure, or receiving campaign donations from a corporate sponsor that are necessary to keep your position of power it makes complete sense.
