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)?

seems good to me.

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

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

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.

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.

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

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

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

remember this is all out of area

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.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

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

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

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