I have heard similar arguments from pseudo-medical practitioners and I am going to assume you are not trolling.
There are huge logical gaps in your statement.
1/ Being alive is a constant fight against diseases, aging and myriad other illness.
2/ In any reasonable population, there would be a percentage of people who need more medical care than others.
3/ Children and old people are more vulnerable.
4/ Given these above, the doctors cater to people who need the medical care.
5/ The world is not static. You can eat something bad and get sick. The doctors and by extent, the entire healthcare system is not a sterile environment to put people in.
Why not propose an alternate system where doctors can be proactive in asking people to take care of themselves - maybe like asking them to take a vaccine?
