I'm only 4000 healer myself (like most people), so this isnt out of personal bias. But healer is most certainly the least used proffession available to us. And the reason is simply that healer overal gives less ability / benefit then a doctor or CMwould get.
Master doctor:
2 methods of damage healing (Bacta shot, Bacta jab)
1 Heal over time (bacta infusion)
Wound healing
Drag skill (often overlooked but VERY useful in mass pvp)
Can clear states and effects(stabilizers, bandage, countertoxin, extinguish fire, disinfect)
Can give 6 types of buffs
Can rez at master
Gains defensive mods (50 melee/ranged)
And for a measly 5 skill points, a doctor can have bacta toss, and a few points more give an area heal.
Master Healer:
2 methods of damage healing (force heal, total heal)
1 Heal over time (force infusion)
Can heal while KD
Wound healing
Can clear states and effects (heal states, stop bleeding, cure poison, cure disease, force extinguish)
2 debuff skills (sap, shock)
No buffs
No rez ability
No defensive mods
No options to grow beyond this skillset as far as healing is concerned
Now, Im not of the mindset that the healing tree should get defensive mods (thats what defender is for). However it's pretty clear to me that giving the healer trees some sort of doc-style buffs, and master healer getting a rezzing ability makes a lot of sense to putting jedi healing on par with the other healing proffessions and would increase the number of jedi healers in use. I know there are lots of people who want to play the jedi healer role, but do not because the skillset isnt very functional.
Anywho theres my data and my idea, post your responses, questions, concerns, poetry and what not if you wish

You become a jedi to be a specific profession, not be a better version of everyone else. Jedi are focused on the force, not everyday convensions. Even anakin skywalker couldn't heal other jedi from death in the clone wars, why should you guys? You are self-taught weak jedi that do not have the power of big players. Once the FRS comes out again and your a master, even then you will not be as good as fisto or windu.
Main point: Jedi is one profession not all professions beefed up

[Edit]
To be fair, I added that jedi do have the ability to heal while KD, that is fairly significant.
And so CM's dont feel left out (since jedi do have 2 weak CMtype abilites) heres the CM breakdown for comparison:
Master Combat Medic:
3 Methods of damage healing (bacta shot, bacta spray (AoE), Bacta toss)
3 DoT attacks (neurotoxin, infect, deuterium toss)
6 debuff skills (hemhorrage, shock, traumatize, electrolyte drain, thyroid rupture, paralyze)
Can rez at master
Gains defensive mods (60 melee / 75 ranged)
For a few more skill points can increase healing efficiency and learn drag (xx4x medic)
I personally feel that drag should be in the CM pre-reqs by the way, but thats a discussion for a different topic.

It is what jedi do, Master Yoda is meditating half of the time in the movies. Force comes to you through meditating, not skills (excluding meditate)
