I noticed that adastra22 was downvoted for this. I'm really not sure why, as it very closely mirrors a lot of people's experience with Swedish healthcare. There have been a lot of stories in the news over the last couple of years, but here's just one at the top of a simple google-search, about a kid that died because their scans were postponed (in Swedish): https://www.dagensmedicin.se/specialistomraden/cancer/barn-dog-efter-att-kontroll-skjutits-upp/ https://www.dagensmedicin.se/specialistomraden/cancer/barn-d... > Due to a lack of capacity at Karolinska University Hospital, the examination of a previously cancerous child was postponed. The child subsequently died of metastatic cancer.
