I just looked at my medical insurance and I guess they dont cover MRI's so i need to know how much they cost on average.

The 2 - 3 thousand range is probably the best guess. I've had about 3 or 4 in the past 6 months and they are no fun. Check again though because I'm sure there is some loophole that will cover the MRI.

And also expect a little longer than 20 minutes in that tube. Mine were a good hour long of loud bangind noises and no moving.

Not too sure how much mine cost..insurance covered it. But I do know that i was in there for an hour or so and I had to listen to "Smooth Jazz" the entire time.

It's nice not having to worry about that kind of shit in Canada.  Blow your knee, you're out for the season and you've gotta come up with 3000 dollars... WOOO!!!

True but in Canuckistan you do have to wait a hell of a long time to get the surgery so miss the whole season just waiting whether it is a serious injury or not.
