From a more recent article where Anthem now says they won’t implement this policy:
Connecticut comptroller Sean Scanlon said the “concerning” policy wouldn’t affect the state after conversations with the insurance company. And New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in an emailed statement Thursday that her office had also successfully intervened.
Don’t they have the closest thing to universal healthcare in the US?

Insurance pays out until outcome and not treatment. Meaning of they don't cure you, insurance will have to cover until you die.
And if they kill you while trying to cure you, every care provider in the chain pays 10-times the cost (total insurance paid by patient over all the years) based on liability to the family else insurance pays 20-times total insurance cost to family.
