Capitalism is based on free markets.
Deviations from free market status in this scenario include:
- The MRI machine is extremely expensive because it’s from a government-enforced patent monopoly
- The insurance is expensive because it’s mandated by government
- The MRI requires a doctor’s prescription because that’s the law
If we had capitalism in medicine, OP would be paying $150 out of pocket to buy an MRI scan from a private company, and that would be that.
Where did you pull $150 from?
