To those people in the world who have access to universal healthcare, what experiences could you share with Americans in order for us to understand how it affects your life (positively or negatively)?

I was leaving the hospital less than 24 hours from first walking into the health centre.

After an examination by a junior doctor, and a consultation with the consultant. I had a small surgical procedure, and went home.

I walked into the local health centre and explained my problem and asked if I could see someone.

Why do men like low maintenance women?

I was told they were busy but would fit me in when they could but likely it would be 2–3 hours, especially since I was out of area, and not one of their patients. If I remember correctly I paid 200Sek ($20 approx) and sat and waited.

remember this is all out of area

After around 30mins I was called by a nurse who checked my nose. She then went to get a Dr to look further. This Dr then got another Dr to check and confer with.

Im happy but there is a heavy feeling of sadness in my heart that I just can't remove. Why am I like this?

I went to the hospital the next day, paid 400 Sek ($40 ish) and went to the ENT department.

Most answers seem to be from the UK, so I will relate my experience here in Sweden.

I saw 4 Drs, 1 of whom was a specialist, and supporting staff. I had a small surgery.

What are some mind-blowing facts that sound unreal but are actually true?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

They concluded I needed to be referred to the hospital in the next city (40 miles away) and booked an appointment for me for the next day.

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

Why did the American's mulberry harbor not hold up after D-Day?

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

seems good to me.
