In normal countries treatment guidelines are set by an independent committee of physiciant and ethicists. Britain has the NICE committee. Having the insurance company decide on what treatment will be paid only guarantees infinite payouts to the CEO.

As far as I know NICE decisions are public whereas in the US you can’t know whether they will decline you or not. No transparency
