My wife has cancer and they decline every god damned thing the doctors say she needs. It's beyond frustrating and I would be lying if I didn't want to find someone in charge and punch them in the face.

It’s likely your doctors have tried this, but if not, have them write a letter of medical necessity explaining why the medications are needed. Have them cite national treatment guidelines like NCCN. And then just keep appealing until you exhaust all of your appeal rights. The initial and first level appeal are usually prior authorization criteria driven. But at some point an appeal is evaluated for medical necessity by a specialist in the field (eg oncologist). Again, that might have all been done and if so, I am sorry.
