It's all about money. You could have gotten that cancer treatment if you had the money to pay.
That is not a statement of an equitable solution -- that is a statement of fact only.

It's very unusual for insurance company to deny paying for generally accepted medical treatment... most of the cases you hear about are about cutting edge/experimental treatments that are not generally accepted by the medical profession... OR patients with pre-existing conditions that try to trick insurance company into paying for treatment of those conditions...
and besides, I don't think in UK there is an option of "I have some extra $$ in my retirement account, lets proceed with this 'unapproved' treatment, I'll pay for it"... is there?
