I don't think it will go away as long as we have third party paying for the costs and AMA controlling competition.

If I had to pay $500 or whatever to get a scan, and instead I could get my data, send it to a model and only follow up if it came back bad, I would. But now someone else pays and there are laws and regulations that prevent people from controlling their data, or at least make it difficult. Kind of weird I have a file on me that I have never seen.

Nope. You have an absolute legal right to obtain copies of your medical images and other data. Who paid for it is irrelevant. The provider can charge you a nominal fee for copying the files but they can't keep it from you.
