Reply #65: Because the health insurance companies have, are and will continue to do a piss poor job

They are in business to make a profit, not to help people with their health conditions. Thus they will scrimp and save money where ever they can, including denying care, certain procedures, drugs and therapies that actually do people good all in the name of profit. A for profit corporation has an inherent conflict in providing health care to people, and much of a person's treatment is regulated by the bean counters in the insurance industry.
