The population of Norway is literally 1% that of the US. MAYBE 2% if we're generous.
When you're a small, homogeneous population, you can make systems like that work. Things break down, however, for larger, more heterogeneous populations.
- esrauch 6y agoThis is a common complaint but I don't really understand it: American healthcare doesn't really seem to need to be "more diverse" than Nordic healthcare to me.
- maximente 6y agoso is the implication that larger and/or less homogeneous populations are more at risk of breaking down? that could definitely be interpreted as not so thinly veiled racism.

I would expect the more homogeneous lifestyle, environment, location, economic status, and perception of/relationship to the healthcare and educational systems would be more relevant characteristics to contrast the two populations.
