i think that those things all make sense, however this one will be very hard to enforce:

"Your doctor tells you that there is only one surgery/drug/treatment that can save your child's life. The insurance company denies it. HIAA will make insurers directly accountable for any harm caused by their decisions."

there are so many conditions for which some docs think there is only one answer, and others would offer options... there are some really bad docs out there who will say something is the only option b/c it makes them $$... i haven't read through the whole bill, but that's a really tough argument to make in a lot of cases.
