I live in indonesia and my ankle non contrast MRI cost around 200 bucks.
My aunts brain MRI cost only like 600 USD. I looked it up, i see ankle MRIcan cost 600-1500 USD and brain can cost like 1500-3000 USD.

If thats true, then you americans reallu have fucked up healthcare

Their average income is much higher in dollar terms though.

A fucking broken leg can put you into massive amounts of debt in the US and if anyone in your family history has a confirmed heart condition or similar then you can say bye to affordable health insurance. *hugs the NHS*

I know, that probably goes into the operating cost because operators are paid more, but still it seems so damn expensive to me. I have heard many healthcare horror from america and they all sound so damn scary for the average citizens.

Like i have heard a cold prescription cost a hundred bucks and mine cost like 10 bucks a visit

The going rate for an hour long research scan varies from 600-900 depending on the institution. Though, this rate is probably vastly different from a medical scan.
