The public pays for coverage and expects to be covered. If the insurers think the cost is too high then they should just increase premiums instead of denying coverage under existing contracts. Simple like that.
Or, get rid of insurers completely and move to a single payer system without parasitic middlemen.
On single payer, very complex procedures like organ transplants, tumor resections in complicated places (ie neurosurgery) become completely out of reach of normal people. That is also extreme and undesirable.
Unlike the current system, where healthcare becomes completely out of reach of normal people.
