I studied in US and one of my classmates from Norway was mildly hit by a car when she was biking. Just to be sure she did not break the leg she took an x-ray. The bill accidentally was send to her address with a request for $8000 (luckily covered by insurance). We almost don’t pay anything in Norway in comparison, I think the maximum yearly amount is $150 if you have to go a lot to the hospital. I have operated my arms several times after different action sports accidents as a child, with no cost (under 18years you don’t even pay the $150). Such a peace of mind to know we have good health service if we need it. Possible reasons why we kick ass in winter sports? Healthcare could be better compared to some of the most advanced cancer treatments in US, but not sure if most Americans can get them?
