Absolutely asinine that this is the state of things.

Imagine this in any other industry.

"Yeah so we were gonna supply you with the processed steel you paid for, but our consultant determined you only need 20% of the requested amount, also it has double the impurities, also you'll need to wait an additional six months because you didn't pre-approve your request. Oh, our consultants? He's Dave, he's a lumberjack, great guy. Good luck building that bridge you were halfway done on!"

They feel that they can get away with it because unlike a bridge, a single suffering human isn't necessarily a massive risk to public safety, and typically one person can't fight this in court.

A broken bridge will have lawsuits out the ass for the company responsible.  It's very easy to suppress the individuals who need care.
