Not the same article but it has come up on here at least one other time with a lively discussion. Can't find it off hand though.

Hanlon's razor. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
The US healthcare system is a mess, but I don't think it's intentionally malicious. It is just a mash of a thousand different systems, creating one big stupid system.

While the pitchfork argument may be appealing, the actual article makes a convincing case that it's just combinatorial expansion:
> As a result, the Transparency in Coverage rule requires insurance companies to do the math for patients and, in most cases, publish prices as dollar amounts. That’s helpful for patients, but it requires that a price be pre-calculated for every possible service.
... So, they could publish the rules engine instead of the combinatorial expansion of all possible inputs, but it sounds like the regulation did not specify that.

I think there's plenty of malice in the system, for example https://www.propublica.org/article/cigna-pxdx-medical-health...
