Doctors are paid to be doctors. And there is always a fraction of the population that aren't healthy. Just like you insinuate with your car mechanic analogy, it's probably a good idea to have a system that doesn't give doctors incentive to give patients more expensive treatment, and instead have incentives to reach good health outcomes.
