This is mainly an issue with healthcare in the US, not “capitalism”. The fact that providers can perform services on you without telling you up-front what the price will be is the problem. That isn’t how a lot of the rest of our capitalist

3/4 of the states are not “red states”. Look at the composition of the Senate. Each state gets 2 senators, but there are only 53 republican senators, not 74-76 as one would expect if 3/4 states were solid red. In reality the count
