How might you resolve the conflict of interest that private insurance companies are better off if they refuse your treatment and you die than if they pay for it?

The problem is not in the conflict of interest - other types of insurance work mostly OK. The problem is that the health insurance companies can somehow get away from their obligations without being sued to death. Maybe that's because of vague contracts, or maybe something else. I don't know the exact reason.
