He was dying. This would likely have given him more time but not stopped him from dying in the near future. To an insurance company, these results are the same except that the latter case costs them more money.

So not that I like insurance companies (I very much do not) but this seems odd. I do histiotripsy, which is super cool! It allows us to treat certain tumors that could be difficult to get otherwise. But… histiotripsy is can be substituted with lower cost treatments almost always (Cryo or MW ablation) and if curative possibility were present with histiotripsy then another treatment modality would be feasible too.
Approximately 45,000 Americans are murdered due to the lack of health insurance. In addition, contributing factors, from the piss poor US healthcare system, leads to over 200,000 deaths annually. WTF USA and you're worried about the price of fucking fuel for your pick-up trucks! Vote for the few politicians that will cap the damn medical expenses, regulate the health industry properly and socialize medicine. If not, it will get worse.
