Waiting lists suggest that some possibility for treatment exists, but insurance companies don't intend to provide any coverage when unprofitable and will use their lawyers to prevent lawsuits from forcing the insurers to cover treatment before the patient dies.

Free market competition will ensure that all insurers exclude the chronically ill and seriously injured from getting treatment, thus increasing profits to all insurers as the weak are sped to their deaths and insurance premiums are increased to pay for the claim deniers and the lawyers.
