Besides the counter-examples already mentioned, healthcare is already relatively unsafe - there are more people who die from medical errors compared to plane crashes, despite whole industry focus towards safety. Nobody wants IT experiments that magnify these numbers.

Another more feeling perspective is that in healthcare, errors cause real harm to individuals that you see and care for on a daily basis. Most errors can be attributable at least partially to a specific human that care for the patient. This surely has much higher psychological damage than a very occasional loss of 200 passengers that are not even your countrymen in a plane crash, or a loss of a few million dollars that is not even your own money to begin with.
