other countries have a catalog what an X-Ray can cost at max - which is usually something between $30 and $100

100% true. They charge what they can get away with, especially when you have "insurance". I had MRIs and Xrays on my knee recently - done in The Bronx, paying cash. $40 for the xray, $50 for the MRI, but I had to shop around, or I would have paid much more.
