I see you haven't used the Icelandic health care system - which receives over half of the high income tax rate.
It's trauma care, not health care. Anything preventative is deprioritized and the country beats the United States in Obesity rate. Get hurt, they patch you up, but have a chronic condition, like say a thyroid problem? See you in 6 months.

- runarberg 3y agoAs somebody that grew up in Iceland but live in the US now, the Icelandic health care system might be bad, and is definitely getting worse, and the main reason for that being that it is severely underfunded (and the main reason for that is the Independence Party [See your post above]), but compared to the US system it is still heaven.
