Doctors will certainly still be necessary in the future.  Intelligent machines may be able to treat a patient if you plug symptoms into it, but may diagnoses aren't that simple.  Also, if such machines were to exist, there are government agencies in place such as the FDA that will require extensive security measures for these machines.  While I do think it could be possible that doctors and drug companies could hold out cures to make more money, most of these companies function on grants and donations already, and if such events started to occur, I believe a system would begin to occur that would require a contract from these companies saying they will release a cure if found, and then people will be more likely to donate to them.
