Soraka is a support - almost by definition, she doesn't carry. She arguably has it worse than other supports like Thresh and Leona (who both have very, very obvious and proactive ways of supporting) but that does not mean you cannot be a huge force multiplier given a suitably competent team.

Paying 10% of your health is no more a punishment than paying a chunk of mana to peel on most other supports. You, unlike said other supports, actually have a way of gaining that resource back at a fast rate.
