most other professions cannot bill you for these things so we are not used to it, if you phone a guy to come look at your leaky roof and he comes out and says man I cannot help you call this guy then hands you a bill for a referral you would scream ;-)
I alway say I have heatlth insurance what I would like is health care ,they are not the same

NO- you are paying for the doctor's time, not just the treatment.
If you "pay by the treatment", then how is a well doctor's visit (the good kind) compensated?
In addition I have gone to a doctor with a skin rash which he could not identify- are you suggesting he should not be paid for my inquiry? If a patient has a problem and doctor could not treat it (maybe it was incurable cancer, maybe needs a specialist, maybe something else) are you suggesting the doctor not get paid for his time?
Most occupations bill by unit time (week-day-hour or minute). Getting the treatment is a function of the time spent. Simple treatments are usually the ones with least amount of care time.
