Health care providers are not in the habit of denying care. Health insurers are because they have a perverse incentives to do so - this is why they should not exist

I feel like your mind is in the right place I agree insurance companies shouldn't exist but what you said in your first comment is false large companies who sell high demand products absolutely gouge on prices all of the time.
That's literally not true though. They compete with each other over offering the lowest price.
