The State of Florida (Governor, et al) has determined that this is how cannabis will be legally distributed in Florida. Fees are paid to the government, per order of the government. And the doctor gets his fees paid as well because why should he give his services away?
It's a racket, for sure. But it's a racket created, mandated, and imposed by the government of the state, not by the doctors.
If it was legal, there would be no doctors giving out medical cards because you could just go to the store and buy it, no card necessary. It'd be taxed, and the state would STILL get money. But they make more this way. Plus they can keep tabs on you just in case they change their mind.
If you have a problem with the doctors charging so much, so often, then take it up with the Governor. He's the one who signed the laws.
You can't even grow it for your own use, though it's been brought up several times in state legislature. The state doesn't want you growing it, because the state can't make money that way.
