Free at service, eliminating one of the big worries for 70% of Americans. Not only is your insurance always strong enough, but if something irregular is happening, you just approach the healthcare system because there is no financial risk. "This is probably not serious enough to risk the amount needed to have it checked" is not an existing thought for any Norwegian.
Silver lining, at this point, the US could study the healthcare systems around the world. The US could learn lessons from them all, then build the best universal healthcare system in the world. Maybe someday.
Everything costs more in Norway. The Value Added Tax jacks up prices. And don’t try to drive a car. 8 dollars a gallon. Norway can have so called free health care because they use US taxpayer military for its protection.
You should read-up about Health Care in Japan. It puts the US and Sweden to shame. Everyone can get health care, according to your income. If you are employed, the employer pays a big percentage. The care is VERY GOOD. Best part: you pay the bill as you leave the hospital. The front desk sorts out what insurance pays and what the customer pays. I have never gotten a medical bill in the mail. Think about that. I will not die leaving crippling debt for my spouse. Think about that!
We needed to take our daughter to the hospital in Japan when we were there on holiday. I was expecting a massive bill that I would have to claim on travel insurance but it was equivalent of going to a general practitioner back here in Australia (not including the claim I could have made to Medicare). The excess on the insurance was going to be more so we just had to wear it.
Important to also recognize that with a single payer universal healthcare system, the cost of the exact same procedure as you would get in the US, with equivalent or superior quality, is typically _half or less_ what the US has to pay. Think about that: in order to create a system that excludes the 'unworthy', American conservatives have managed to double their own healthcare costs as a result. It's a pretty good example of cutting off your nose to spite your face. I never want to hear a conservative talk about 'the economy' again, when you consider how hypocritical they are with regards to the economics of healthcare.
love your videos! keep it up!😁

Don't they take 60% or so of your income in Norway to cover things like healthcare? And that's from everyone, not just high earners?

I think Norways average is 36% and America's is 28% income taxes.

Sounds like highway robbery!
Yeah but we in the US have more things that go BOOM.😂
Also Singapore has the #1 healthcare system in the world, but you cant chew gum.
