I have sympathy for your point of view. But I worry that attempting to remove the profit motive from healthcare could result in potential doctors choosing different professions.
A problem with society having "certain expectations" of doctors - or anyone else - is that extra expectations (above "do a job so that trading with you helps the world") are a disincentive from getting into that profession.
All that said, I suspect that a purely free-market healthcare system would be worse for the very poor than a socialist one like England (unless the culture had a particularly enthusiastic charitable ethic. Maybe that would develop? Does government charity crowd out private charity?).
One possible solution would be to create a free market system, with some government guarantees for those who are unable to pay themselves. That has some problems of its own, but it at least attempts to capture the good bits of a free market system, while not leaving the poor to die in the gutters. Of course, this is more complex than the comment I originally replied to about "just let some entrepreneur take care of it".
