Nobody is perfect. If your solution to a problem is to require people to be perfect, then its not going to work. Of course she could have been more responsible and done some research on the crap she's putting in her body. But she lives in a paradigm of expectectations and incentives. Nobody is better than their incentives. Even people who go against the grain, like us bitcoiners, only do so after learning some hard lessons and seeing a shift in incentives.
You said yourself that the industry is corrupt. She has a right to expect officials to be truthful. Not a baseline property right, but it is right to expect that people in positions of authority aren't corrupt, and anyone claiming authority must uphold their integrity or lose legitimacy. This is why most of us are here - the authorities are illegitimate by way of dishonesty. That doesn't mean we should blame people for stupidly believing them - it means we should put the blame where it actually makes a difference, where it belongs, on the corrupt officials. Corrupt doctors, corrupt insurance, corrupt oversight bodies, corrupt representatives. We know that. She doesn't know that. Maybe now she does. Her innocent expectation of a working system is a credit to her, in a way.
And... You're missing an opportunity. Or, people thinking that way in general are. She now would be easy to teach. She would be an ally against the shitbags that should have done their job. If you want to actually stop the corruption, you'll need a lawsuit. There it is... But not if all you do is dunk on her. If all you do is dunk on her, then from her perspective, you're part of the system that betrayed her trust. Yes, naive stupid trust. But put that away so you can score a win.
