While healing is in the atonement, freedom from death is not. Every person, saved or unsaved is appointed to die, that is due to the curse caused by sin. So while we pray for healing for those who are sick, God also holds the right to keep the balance of healing versus the natural course of death. Death is not something to be feared, instead, it is a release from this present world (for those who die in Christ) and the trials and tribulations it brings. This is why healing does not always come to every person we pray for, even in faith, because there must always be a balance.
We live, we die, and sometimes God honors the prayers of the righteous for healing, but not always. For if we could pray for healing in every situation and circumstance, then we could pray against death itself, but that is impossible. Instead, we pray God's most perfect will, his will to heal, but also his greater will. That in itself is the product of perfect faith, trusting thru faith what we cannot see, for that which we hope for, God's perfect will.

Hebrews 9:27 … And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Job 14:14 … If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Romans 9:15 … For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.❤
