The administrative overhead is necessary in order to get money from the insurance companies. Without the administrators too administrate and fill out copious amounts of paperwork, the hospital won't get paid by the insurance companies, and if the hospital don't get no money, they can't pay their staff, and staff tend to like getting paid.
This is how the world ends. Administrators on both sides being replaced by AI and consuming all the worlds available compute arguing with each other about healthcare bills.
