<<<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.>>>

It all depends on how you look at it, but the point is software development and systems integration and implementation are relatively new areas of study. Studying the history of these things help enormously to get them better overtime.

These are iterative processes. They get better over time. The philosophy of allowing things to unwind by itself is not efficient. It is like after a can has been crushed, the chances of getting it back to the original shape by letting nature take its course is virtually nill. But who knows in infinite time it could happen. Better that you should intervene and try to put the can back into its original shape.
