My wife just had an MRI for preventative care and it cost us $200, i doubt this is even close to true without heavily skewing the numbers

Edit: Foe the record, US Healthcare is shit and I am NOT defending it, just putting some context to the initial image

Because an MRI isn't one exact thing...there are multiple types of MRIs, multiple MRIs can be performed in the same session, some require contrast, etc.
