i could order a full body mri here every month and still pay less than us monthly health insurance

Just paid $350 for one in TX, my out of pocket hit. Quoted $1,000 at another facility.

I just started a new job, for a small company. For three if us it's $1500 per month for health insurance. That's insanity, especially since we use folk medicine for everything. Only if that can't fix it so we think about a doctor.

MRI cost here is ranging between 4 to 15 bucks. Why it's too expensive there?
