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

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.

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

My Girlfriend Had a Legendary Sex Life Before Me. No One Will Let Me Forget It. - Slate Magazine

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

remember this is all out of area

Can a cop pull you over walking home asking why you are out so late?

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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

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

Why should the US public listen to Lauren Boebert, the queen of hypocrisy tell us, "We need morals back in our nation" when her real-time video is the heartbeat of immoral? Why does her audio not match her video?

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.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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.

seems good to me.

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