Healthcare systems in my opinion is in a lot of ways much simpler than complex software systems.

I'd say they are massively more complex.

The law describing a health care system, will be less complex than a very complex piece of code (say Microsoft Vista, or Office). But the law isn't the system.

The full system has hundreds of millions of people interacting in complex, changing ways, each one of them making their own decisions, and having their own issues.

Health care is a large subset of the whole economy. Large economies are in my opinion, by far the most complex human creation ever devised.
