American medical industry is worried that once the xray is taken, you can ship it to another country where a trained physician can look at it and diagnose it for $50. The problem is that the American doctor needs to make orders of magnitude more money to diagnose. Hopefully we will see this kind of disintermediation, because for routine stuff (broken bones) costs should be way lower than they are.
