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 was leaving the hospital less than 24 hours from first walking into the health centre.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

I went to the hospital the next day, paid 400 Sek ($40 ish) and went to the ENT department.

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

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

I saw 4 Drs, 1 of whom was a specialist, and supporting staff. I had a small surgery.

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.
