Not that the American health insurance system is really “savable”, but one great initial measure might be to require a doctoral sign-off on every rejection. So, if doctor A claims a patient needs a prescription, and the insurance company wishes to deny it, then doctor B must stake their degree on the fact that the patient does not need it.
I feel like insurance companies would pretty quickly run out of doctors willing to sign such things.

Having worked in medicine…you do not want doctors policing doctors.
