I think this guy is missing the point. Seems like the goal is to make giving an ultrasound so easy that it would be silly to charge for it. Just like the doctor doesn't (or at least shouldn't) have a special charge to listening to your chest with a stethoscope.

A literal ape can do an ultrasound scan if trained well enough - you still need years of training to actually interpret the data you gather with an ultrasound image or by listening to a chest. This is what you pay for.
