In situations like these, it will help save lives.

That had nothing to do about the problem. You are blaming the insurance company, but the insurance company wasn't the problem. The problem was that such a procedure was too expensive for anyone involved in that situation to really afford, even the insurance company. I know the big bad insurance companies are just plain evil, but the thing is if they payed for everything that everyone wished they would, then there wouldn't be any insurance companies very much longer...
