We ration care, too.
Not in the same sense. Rationing (as is usually understood) implies someone with legal power choosing who gets what, when, and how. Think of ration cards during WW2 or tickets during the days of the soviet union.

Prices in a market don't arise because of one person directing it. They arise based on the interplay of millions of buyers and sellers.

Economic rationing is usually included in that usually-understood definition...might want to look into that.
