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.

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.

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

What are the most significant instances of romantic jealousy in the Harry Potter series?

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.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

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

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.

What would happen if the US government told the British government in no uncertain terms all RAF bases with USAF personnel now must follow the Constitution and us law, and if the UK tried to defy this, the US military would directly attack the UK?

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

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.
