Do you see the ability to grow your own food as being a strong check on grocery prices? To me, it's the many competing grocery stores, a few or even many different brands in each, and prices labeled up front. If anything, healthcare seems easier to go your own way - simply by going without.
Also can we agree that one of the main reasons doctors go to work every day is for the paycheck? That's a form of profit, right?
(And I'm certainly not making this argument to inductively argue that all profit is good! In fact, like bacteria, outsized profits call attention to where the system has problems. But we do need to get the boundary conditions correct)
