Again, that’s what you pay (near as I can tell), but that’s not what it costs.
They’re also “free” (at the point of service) in the UK, but the scanner and helium are not a generous gift from the fey folk, nor does the Queen volunteer as a tech.
These things cost money. Any study you do is going to have to cover expenses—-including their share of a temperamental, multimillion dollar machine (or find a way to dip into the same accounts that cover its clinical use).
