Of course it's different. Being a programmer is just a job, whereas being a doctor is a privilege granted by society.

  > Being a programmer is just a job That's like saying building bridges is just a job. The word you're looking for isn't "privilege," it's "responsibility."

    Access to doctors is something that every person needs be they rich or poor and something that must be accessible at a reasonable price. Being a doctor is a privilege granted by society on the understanding that society sets the rules of how the healthcare system works. Bridge engineers are free to charge what they want if they feel they are worth that much.
