Not strictly true, here in the UK you wont get refunds for drug treatments that dont work if seeing a private gp (or vet), thats why the NHS exists, its harder to sue the NHS in those conditions.
NICE who decide what drugs to use, is veiled in secrecy unless you can attend one of their public meetings, just like its impossible to attend every court case, its a form of resource burning which only the rich entities can afford.
IF you do challenge any drugs, you'll get passed from pillar to post until you under up in the govt's lap and they make the rules up as they go along, but its very hard to get any recourse unless you can afford expensive lawyers who know the technicalities to use as an approach vector.
