man wait until you find out about flying into another country to do some medical operations or tests or whatever, and then flying back, just because it’s fucking cheaper that way.
It’s only cheaper that way if you don’t work full time.
You choose the quality of your insurance here. For the most part. It’s complicated and bad, for sure, but the problems with it are grossly over exaggerated
it can be cheaper that way for a lot of reasons, you might not be in network, your insurance might not want to cover it, there might be a million other factors, often times it’s just easier, and cheaper to go somewhere else, do that shit, pay out of pocket, go home, feel better, and then start working again.
Generally people aren’t too keen on working when trying to figure out if they have cancer or something, for example.
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.

This is genuinely a really common occurrence.

Generally when someone claims that insurance just chooses not to cover stuff that’s a good sign they don’t anyhting about insurance here.
