Existing laws and coordination costs. There is inelastic demand for being fed, but not for "food": people will spend more or less on it in different circumstances, and will change what they eat in response to prices. Further, I don't see how collusion could be effective in a market as big as "food," much less secret. Maybe only for certain commodities, but again, we have laws for that.

When the government pays for all healthcare, it has overwhelming leverage to set prices.

I think it's fine to fear that anti-trust legislation is no longer effective, just that it isn't a valid objection: if it's a problem, it would be a problem no matter what life-saving social programs we do or don't put into place.
