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.
Insurance companies are optimized for keeping you sick until medicare. Then you are Medicare's problem and they never paid out. Pure profit at the low cost of health and suffering of millions.
