Just watched this show. Fascinating show.

Here's what he had done over a period of 2 days. An Executive Check-up; a full-body checkup which includes bloodwork, a cardio stress-test, an eye exam, a chest x-ray, and a full abdominal ultrasound to check the entire body for disease. The series of exams is completed in a single day. He also decided to have a colonoscopy, which used the latest technology and involved swallowing a capsule containing a set of cameras which transmitted images wirelessly to a device he carried around with him. When he was done they gave him a bill on the spot. No waiting for the hospital to send it to him after they got the chance to jack with it. His cost was $3,000. The total trip (air fare, hotel, etc) cost him $4,300. The medical procedures alone would have cost him about double that or more in the US.
he visited the Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand

Now why can't we accomplish the same level of treatment here?
