I’m not getting into the isssue in the Alphie case about travel to Italy, because if the family can do it at their expense or at some donor’s expense they should be able to do it, no question.
That is at least half the issue in this case though.

But any honest discussion
By ignoring half the issue, I am not sure you framed in a way conducive to honest discussion.
Perhaps we can focus on this:

He can't, because it's not true. I work in health care, and insurance does not stop treatment. Terminal kids receive it until the end.
Now there are other severe problems with insurance and what they will and won't cover, and that problem has been severely exacerbated since Obamacare was enacted. It grows worse each year as well.

Until the ACA, most private insurance plans had annual and/or lifetime caps. There is no doubt that he would have run up against those and lost his coverage.
Until the ACA. Thanks, Obama!

He has no intention of having an honest discussion.
