In theory, the cost of getting an MRI would come way down due to not having to keep the coils crazy cold. In practice, we have capitalism, so it'll probably go up

In practice, the medical market is one of the most heavily regulated in history. We definitely don’t have capitalism in medicine.

If we did, prices would go way down.
