I had an x-ray once at my university’s health clinic when I had no insurance. I think the total cost of the visit, x-ray, antibiotics and urine test* was less than $300. I wonder if the difference in cost between what you and I saw has to do with the type of x-ray (higher detailed x-rays for breaks?) or the type of doctor. I would be surprised if my university was subsidizing the cost of something like x-rays.
*Too much information about what was wrong with me follows: I had to pee in a cup before they would have any one look at me. Since I had been peeing blood right before I had come in, my body did not want to do this. I ended up sitting in the waiting area and sobbing from the pain while I tried to drink water. Soon after I was able to pee in the damn cup, I started throwing up. I am pretty sure it was from the pain. They were never able to figure out what was wrong with me.
