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)?

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

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

What does it mean when you dream that your mother died?

seems good to me.

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.

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

What are the signs that a guy wants to marry you but is afraid of commitment or does not want to get married at all?

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.

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

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

What's your take on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? How has it affected you?

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.

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

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

Why do Brits drive a lot more dangerously compared to Americans? Is there just no courtesy when driving in the UK?

remember this is all out of area

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