I will be down-voted to hell, but I have worked in health insurance company. Large insurance companies have doctors and layers that basically sit down and make decisions about how much they will pay (if ever) for treatment. Your scenario has real life basis.

Isn't that how it has to work, if you want your insurance premiums to be finite?

  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
