Spending 10-20% of you monthly income on on a single test does not seem like a good deal at all.

1. Government hospitals offer MRI scams at free or heavily subsidized prices to everyone. Going to a private clinic is optional

2. You typically don't need MRI scams all that often

Edit: replied to completely wrong comment. Below was supposed to go to one comment above.

Government rate is $120 per imaging session, with standard 1/3 deductible. Minimum wage in Tokyo at this moment is $1336, so more like 3-5% after additional diagnosis and fees.
