These days it's likely a very different from 2007 when it was being debated.

There argument wasn't that no one should get Gardasil. Just that it would hurt the health of the society if it was mandated for all. Obviously if you had the money it's good to get it

Yes, and this argument indeed holds in the case of extra MRI screenings. We simply don't have enough MRI units to screen everybody every year.

On the other hand, the quantity of MRI units is not fixed. We can always build more, they are just inherently very expensive. And if you can afford an MRI scan from your personal disposable income, then what's the problem?
