So you are addressing cost. OK, cost is an issue in the US.
Tell me, if you need a non emergency MRI, what is the wait time in your country? My sister that lived in Canada for 3 years can tell you that the wait time is 6 to 8 months.
BTW, TV lies all the time.
When I worked at a hospital the wait time for a non-urgent MRI was about three months. Heres a link to waiting time guides for the NHS.

From what I can tell from this side of the pond your health system for all but the wealthy lags behind most developed countries and you have to pay.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
