Yep. Wealthy Canadians often come to the USA as medical tourists and pay cash to skip the queue at home for elective procedures like MRIs or joint replacements.

You can pay for MRIs in Canada. My friend needed one and he had it within the week for $800.

I think private MRIs have been around, at least in my province anyways, for close to 30 years.

Oh yes I see, America bad, got it.
