People can live just fine without their cars. In most metropolitan areas there is ample (if still inconvenient) public transportation.
Health care is an exception because it is directly tied to your life. It is your health and well being and people's ability to seek adequate care has been reduced to the bottom line at an investor's meeting. Doctors are giving you meds based on what rewards they get back rather than giving you one that works just as well and is cheaper but doesn't have the kickbacks for the Dr.
People also are very limited in their choices of healthcare. It's basically what your employer offers or paying up the ass to insure yourself. The system is fucked.
