The private health insurance "ecosystem" is one of the best examples of where unregulated capitalism goes against the public good.

That's a buzzword compliant restating and expansion of what fenicedautun said about them being public companies - they are responsible to their shareholders, not their customers. That is generally considered appropriate in the context of capitalism, but the other important part of capitalism - a free market for competition - is less evident.
