An MRI in Mumbai costs about $50 US. In America, it costs $1,200 US.
Any way to get that American number closer to that Indian number is a welcomed move in my eyes. No matter what the rich will figure out how to make a profit, but if we can even out the costs in the US by giving the doctors and the companies that actually make the equipment a bigger piece of the pie than they get now, and by edging out the "insurance companies" that pocket 80% of the profit, many can win and (in a dream world) the insurance cartels can finally get screwed by the patients and the med industry that they are eating alive
