Remember how Briana was getting chemo, and needing anti-nausea medication? Insurer got all stingy and would only pay for one (IIRC) dose when she needed more.
Ok, not "flatly denied" but I imagine this situation is similar to what happens in Britain; a 92-year-old with emphysema is given medication to manage it, rather than a lung transplant, but they are not "flatly denied" treatment.
