I assume this was a researched and planned procedure on your part? I am a much bigger believer in "the market" than most people. But the problem with the medical industry is that many / most things happen under serious time pressure. The seriousness and imediatness of medical procedures means that competition and choice often do not get to play a role in your decision making. For many people in many circumstances, the MRI machine nearest them has a complete monopoly. How do we bring the miraculous efficiency of the market to an industry where people often cannot make consenting and informed decisions? Its a very hard problem to solve.
