How so? In my country (Italy) for an MRI I would pay from 42 USD to 81 USD, depending on my income.

Not saying that's its real cost since we pay taxes to grant this to everyone, but from here to 18k...

Bad comparison. Italy has far inferior health system, barely able to provide 2x better infant mortality rate at 1/3 the cost when compared to US. /sarcasm
