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)?

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

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

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

I dreamt my mother had died and I cried so much in my dream. What does it mean?

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

seems good to me.

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.

Is it common for female doctors to examine male patients without another nurse present? Is there a difference in protocol for nurses and physician assistants?

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

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

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

Why do Democrats call any Republican "Magats", like they are subhuman?

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

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 am I so afraid that gun owners have set traps to kill me outside my house or my car?

remember this is all out of area

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.
