Or maybe regulation is in fact a problem. In my country there is less regulation in healthcare services. I can walk into multiple private facilities in my town, get full blood panel with almost everything you can think of included (hormones, vitamins/mineral levels, liver markers etc) for around 100$. The results are going to be available online the same day (with the exception of those that require more lab time). This is fully private enterprise which has nothing to do with "universal healthcare" my country has.

I don't need prescription or doctor recommendation to get it done. I can also take my own urine/hair/swabs, walk into a lab, pay and have the requests results online in a few days.

If I need MRI I can usually schedule it for the next day in multiple private points and again the results are going to be there the same day. The price is around 200 bucks for say cervical spine.

How is it in your country? Do you know how much is required to get those basic services in other countries?
