  • 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.









  • I think it’s a combination of things. My experience definitely parallels yours: when developers have access to the bill they tend to realize the cost of the services they are using. Sometimes even resulting in optimizations to those costs.

    At the same time AWS can get fucked with how horrible their bills are to understand. They don’t exactly go out of their way or even slightly on a good path to deliver a clear bill.

    So even if the developers have access to the bills they might just end up with an impenetrable list of bullshit from AWS
