Like food and shelter, healthcare has quite a bit of subsidies involved (think medical education being subsidized, plus the obvious, like Medicaid/Medicare). Wrongly, in my opinion.
Food is subsidized or freely available to those who need it: think WIC and food stamps. Or, heck, agricultural subsidies.
Shelter is subsidized or freely available: think Section 8 and mortgage tax deductions.
All this does is distort markets, which is unfair to everyone.
