Norway doesn't have "free" healthcare but their socialized system, paid for mostly with taxes, costs enormously LESS (9.7% of GDP) than ours (17.1% of GDP; both figures 2014). I don't think people realize this: socialized healthcare costs a lot LESS than our profit-sucking mess.

Quite sure it's the same as here in The Netherlands. It's not free. But costs are low and subsidized. Earn less, receive more personalized subsides based on income. Earn more and receive less or no personal subsidies. Always subsidized though, one way or the other. It's adorable.

Hard seeing friends in USA suffer financially from having such high costs. My time there I avoided the dr./dentist . Living here has shown me how it could be elsewhere. Healthcare is so crucial for a healthy society. Not just literarily speaking. Shameful how it is in the US.
