Its hard also to pain the insurance company as the villian. The insurance company didn’t set the drug price at 2.1 million per dose.
It’s a total side point, but this is why I chose traditional Medicare over a “Medicare Advantage” plan when I hit 65. The Advantage plans offer all sorts of goodies. But they’re run by insurance companies, companies that care way more about money than they care about you.

What is the name of the insurance company that is refusing to pay for their treatment?
