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 away from home in another region of Sweden

remember this is all out of area

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

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

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.

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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

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

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.

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.

Artists get better with age, e.g., painting. Yet when it comes to pop music, the famous work tends to be written when musicians are in their twenties. So, why aren't Bob Dylan or the Stones banging out amazing tunes now?

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

seems good to me.
