It's basic economics, government sticking its fingers into corporations instead of allowing them to purely compete with each other gives the consumer fewer choices and higher costs
I don't know what level of economics classes you took, or where you took them, but what you said is absolutely not true.
Going back all the way to Adam Smith, the thought leaders in economics have always acknowledged that certain things (examples: healthcare, national defense, etc.) aren't free market items, and the government should be involved.
Since the truth will be upsetting to you, maybe this will relax you:

healthcare
I've always wondered where this stands in relation to something much more indespensible, like food.
