But isn’t the higher cost of healthcare per capita in the US because our prices are higher? Did they adjust costs for procedure or just cost?

I'll rather wait for non-emergency specialist treatments than going bankrupt because of health problems out of my control

You can also access private healthcare too if you’re willing to pay the price. So you actually got the choice

There is no downside to universal healthcare compared to the US private system for ordinary people

people in the US also wait just because they can't afford it until it's dire. you never have to worry about costs in Scandinavian/Nordic countries so you can sign up for the list and someone will decide if you're urgent or not. if it's BAD, they'll squeeze you in

Also I assume Norwegians can pay for private healthcare if they want?

To me, that's a strange take. Why would someone become lazy just because they have good health insurance? 🤔 Here in Germany, everyone is always fully insured, from before birth until death. That was already the case for my parents and grandparents. After the war, they rebuilt their burned-down house, cleared their fields of bombs and thistles, and worked hard their whole lives. Fully covered by health insurance. When my grandpa—who was dirt poor—was kicked in the face by a horse shortly after the war, he had to go to the hospital. He paid nothing. Afterward, he went right back to work. I can’t imagine how terrible it would be to risk losing my health insurance if I changed jobs or lost my job. I imagine it would feel even worse if you have a family. It strikes me as almost like debt bondage—the opposite of freedom. That’s not what they wanted when the French or we or anybody else started any revolutions.

Can we please not act like these two are "equally flawed" systems?! One of those systems leads to people suffering and/or dying. It drives people into poverty and insurances can choose to kick you out or not even take you on in the first place if you present the risk of "costing to much". The other system has longer waiting times, which can be avoided because one can still get private healthcare to get faster treatment. And I'm not saying that universal healthcare is perfect or that there aren't any problems within the system, but compared to the US model there is a clear winner when it comes to the ethical handling of your populations medical needs. Because all the great medical breakthroughs in the world are useless if the average person that needs it doesn't have access to it.
