My question is why aren't the parents just as mad with the hospital, surgeons, and nurses as they are with the insurance company?

CIGNA initially decided not to cover the transplant, there offices were protested and they later changed their decision. Unfortunately for this girl and her family, she passed away.
What I don't get is why in these cases we go after the insurance companies, when the doctors and the hospital are being just as greedy and heartless as the insurance company.
The insurance company is a third-party. 99% of the people will never know you, meet you or take a personal stand for your cause.
The hospital knows your story, knows the direness of the situation and yet we never, ever go after tehm?
Why is that? What about the hippocratic oath taht doctors are sworn to uphold? They could have saved this girls life, but they were not willing to do so. Why aren't they sued?
