As an American I’m curious what it’s like if you need to go to the doctor and how much you pay from say a broken arm to general checkup. Also list what country please

    Norway. Far from perfect, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    There is a bit of a wait for non-critical stuff, but for the most part that’s OK. It’s technically not free: costs around 30$ equivalent to see the doctor for anything not critical. Not sure why; I think it’s mostly symbolic.

    My kid broke his arm last year and got a titanium rod inserted into the bone. The only expende was that I bought a sandwich while he was in surgery.
