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)?

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.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

How do I identify fake friends in life?

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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.

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

I like this guy and his personality is AMAZING. He’s everything I want EXCEPT I’m not 100% attracted to him. I’ve dated some really hot guys and I’m wondering if that’s ruined dating for me? What do I do?

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

remember this is all out of area

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

Why can’t Trump campaign on the real issues facing America rather than insulting the character of VP Harris? Does MAGA actually believe this tactic will work?

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.

seems good to me.

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.

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