Most people need the same amount of food to survive, but the demand for health services can vary a lot.

Some get sick every 10 years, others every 3 months.
Some have poor genes and are prone to terrible diseases.
Then you got accidents etc.

If you compare healthcare to buying food, then you are literally saying that everyone should pay from his own pocket for his treatment.... if treatment goes into hundreds of thousdands, then it's not possible.
