A person's health is not something that makes sense to view as a good in a supply and demand chain. If you need a drug or treatment to live, the demand is there no matter the price. As a result you see americans getting charged 10x as much for insulin, because the free market is at work and that's what people are willing to pay before it's either cheaper to fly to Mexico or Canada to buy insulin. If they can't afford that, they ration insulin and die. Under a government regulated single payer system this doesn't happen.
