I've done this! Was not really the point of the trip but decided to give it a try.

Specifically, went to Taiwan and paid for the fanciest and most comprehensive health panel i could. I cannot compare the price to the US because nowhere in the US offers an equivalent service.

Ezra.com is close but: 1. Much worse quality. 2. Only offers 1/8 of the tests i got. 3. Considering only the comparable tests the cost is 3.5x more.

Like, i cannot describe to American doctors the experience because it's like a fantasy tale. I couldn't of possibly had that experience in their minds. They are so deep in the american shitcare the story i describe must be false. The damage to the psyche when you realize you are working your ass off for less pay to deliver a worse product is too much.

The denial of many Americans is too much. They'd rather die painfully, and at great cost, than admit capitalism cannot solve healthcare.
