"How can one hospital charge $800 for an MRI while the stand alone clinic down the street charges $450? We visit two MRI centers in Pensacola, Florida to find out."

@alexcartaz No joke, I paid $1500 for an MRI at a local hospital in South Carolina, listened to this podcast, and discovered that a nearby stand alone clinic offered the same MRI for $600
