No, I think the problem is that you guys have this fantasy version of the US system in your head so you think it's dramatically different when it's totally not.
The fact that you think a health insurer can just deny essential care to save a few bucks and makes these decisions on every single case is a perfect example. They're literally all regulated in the exact same way you describe the NHS/NICE except that our largest states are the size of your whole country, they're essentially state monopolies in most states. All these examples you keep throwing out would be pretty much the same in the United States. Your parents would have been on Medicaid until they got Medicare, etc.
That's why I think there's literally no difference in justifying the murder of the CEO vs. justifying the murder of whatever state officials made the regulatory decisions of what and how to fund this or that along with the immediate availability of resources. Private insurance or state insurance denying payment for an experimental drug in terminal cases should justify murder in both cases in my opinion. In the United States it probably justifies murdering the existing regulatory officials too, along with all the other politicians.
