In his book, Bush calculated the fortune that could be made if a person wanted to start their own MRI business. At Massachusetts General Hospital, an MRI can be billed to an insured patient for $5,315. Bush proposes that an industrious person could rent an MRI machine for around $8,000 per month, a suburban park office for $1,000, two technicians for $6,500 each (including benefits), and around $3,000 for taxes and fees. That's $25,000 per month in cost. If you can do three scans per hour and run twelve hours per day, you'd break even at $28 per MRI.
Citation needed. Hes also short several costs. And there are many private MRI and surgery centers that do not accept insurance. They are far cheaper than insurance costs every time. Most would save 25% or more. Here is one example I cite often. http://time.com/4649914/why-the-doctor-takes-only-cash/
No it wouldnt. You arent adding in the insurance costs, marketing costs, office supplies, and a thousand other small things that every business needs
Jimmy, you're proving what you're made of. Stop dodging and avoiding my question. YOU made the accusations and now YOU need to respond to my reply! HERE!
So price would go from $28 to $33.50. So still virtually free compared to soviet liberal price of $2500. Do you understand?
You forgot to add in profit. And the fact that you price a service such as that in a way as to be self sustaining at the point of least demand, not max capacity.
ok so add in profit and price is $40 and its still virtually free compared to lib soviet price of $2500. Are you getting picture now?
Other societies have figured this out. But of course they invest in their societies and we allow the aristocracy to pillage ours instead.
