"On the NHS you are typically waiting months and for some years for an MRI or CT scan."

That is the problem of costs. The NHS is 'free' but it costs us with long wait times and terrible service. On the other hand if your paying for treatment and the health providers actually have to care to get paid then the quality of service is a lot better and I have found actually useful. Unfortunately that idea scares people because they automatically think of the US even though the rest of the developed world have found other ways to do it.
