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.

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

Why do women need to wear bras, in spite of the fact that the breasts are an integral part of the body?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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.

Why does Islam give a bad vibe?

remember this is all out of area

seems good to me.

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

How do I explain to my husband that my 19-year-old son has accidentally gotten me pregnant?

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

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.

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.

Why, after a divorce, would one still want to ruin the other one’s life?

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