If the decision is made by a private insurer, then there are several paths open for recourse.
Not much recourse if it is the government.

Nope.
The 13 year old girl who died in California debunks your myth that there are "several paths open" for recourse when your insurance company denies you a life saving surgery.
Apparently, this family did not have medical insurance at all.
If so, the Healthcare Reform Act is supposed to help people without insurance so that they have insurance.
Maybe Indiana hasn't been able to or haven't allowed the "changes" to happen at the state level that would benefit this family.
