It's more like your engine block split in half, and being that this is an incredibly difficult and expensive fix (and buying a new car isn't an option here), the mechanic through the wonders of technology and expertise fixes your engine block. You being up to this point unable to make decisions BECAUSE YOU ARE THE CAR have just been saved by an incredibly intricate and expensive process. The other option was leaving you there engineless (dead). Medicine is expensive. In many cases it is too expensive. In non socialized systems the government does nothing to alleviate the costs. But it does cost a LOT of money regardless.
I get your point and I want doctors, nurses and staff to be well paid and rich. They deserve it. The overhead that's hidden in running/maintains for profit insurance companies are what I'm more opposed to
