When the price of gasoline goes way up, the voters cry. The government, trying to appease the voters, institutes price controls. Then the voters cannot buy gasoline at any price. Then the government changes.
The price of health care, and thus health insurance goes up. The voters cry, but refuse to give up their cable TV. The government institutes price controls. Now the voters can't get health care at any cost. Then the government changes.
