I didn't check other machines but my guess is that a lot of devepment work is done in other countries.
However, it sure makes a nice sound bite that the USA is being ripped off by other countries.
Sorry about the MRI, but a cheap shot on your part. We do replace machines and the machines are picked up by charity groups and end up in places like the Philippines, where they do good work. You can get MRIs for a fifth of the cost in the US, and cataracts done for $500 even if you're a USian. We do pay more for drugs, but that actually seems to be a problem with the US government. So Big Medical gets in cahoots withe the government. There are some unfair trades, but that can be evened out.
