Because almost 100% of everyone hasn’t been taught the incredible value and economic common sense of the Free Marker Economy. They have been brainwashed - utterly steeped in Keynesian (socialist) economics.

Freedom is not longer taught in government schools. Why? Because freedom is the ABSENCE of government and its force and coercion.

Do you consider the way health insurance companies operate, to be a free market?

Have you tried to get an insurer to pay for a procedure that you thought they covered?

Have you found it easy to know what is or isn’t covered?

Have you checked the salaries of your insurer’s executives?

We don’t have a free market in medical care. The moment emergency rooms were required to take all patients without reference to ability to pay in the 80’s, medical costs started skyrocketing. Insurance company, Medicaid and Medicare monopsony power, such that big buyers of medical services get 90% discounts, further distorts the market so everyone has to buy medical insurance. Take away monopsony power, such that bloodwork doesn’t cost $5000 for self-payers, and $600 for insurance companies, and individual buyers start being able to afford to self-insure. Make billing transparent and up-front, legally forcing hospitals to provide an up-front bill with only 10-20% wiggle room, and patients will finally have some confidence about going to the doctor, before benign conditions become urgent problems.
