Americans Could Use a Database of Mortalities Caused by Callous Health Insurance Company Policies

Like the excellent Gun Violence Archive which details gun deaths throughout the US, Americans could use a national database of deaths caused by inhuman health insurance policies, like those perpetrated by United HealthCare.
You can see how https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ efficiently records gun violence daily in every state.
The closest I came across in my research is the US Mortality Database at https://usa.mortality.org/.
But those researchers do not disclose denied treatment by a health insurance company.
A sample entry for the potential (and massive) database of health insurance corporate cruelty could look like this:
Incident 7598 / Patient aged 85 denied insulin / UHC / Physician's Hospital, NYC / 18 Nov 2024 / Premiums paid to company over time: $6,467.00 / Result: Death within 72 hours / Medical Bankruptcy: Yes/No
Incident 7599 / Patient aged 27 denied blood medication / Blue Cross & Blue Shield / Kansas Hospital, KS / 12 Dec 2024 / Premiums Paid to Company over time: $2,228 / Result: Patient left with $8,000 monthly bill / Medical Bankruptcy: YES
This would be a tremendous undertaking and I imagine each state in America would have scores, if not hundreds, of entries per day.

"Deceased denied Arcalyst because this was ruled not cost effective for United HealthCare's profit margin so therefore victim painfully expired within 72 hours."
This info is then forwarded to the 501(c)(3) organization for national collation.
