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)?

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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

seems good to me.

Is a monthly salary of 47,000 SEK before tax considered adequate for a C# .Net developer with over 7 years of experience in 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 walked into the local health centre and explained my problem and asked if I could see someone.

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

Why do I feel bad when I see white girls dating black guys, am I racist?

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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 do doctors refuse HRT to menopausal women but hand them out to trans people?

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

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

remember this is all out of area

Why would calling me an incel help anything? How does that solve anything? Why can’t you actually be helpful and offer productive honest advice?

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.

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