Healthcare is in most laws a basic right for any person, while applying supply and demand would (by virtue of low supply) deny it price-wise to poorer people. Certain treatments and medicines are very expensive to research, and as such they would be too expensive for most people to buy - so governments subsidize this research to make sure it can be made available for affordable fees.
