Can someone please enlighten me? Why does it make sense for health care to be subject to market forces? Why do people object to more people getting health insurance?

I do not understand how the free market can possibly be more important than the health and the very lives of our citizens. Shouldn't the free market serve the people, and not the other way around?

Saw this protest sign on the news the other night..."Healthcare is NOT a human right".
Mind boggling.
