I'm Norwegian, where you have to pay about $30 to go to the doctor (which is set to $0 after spending $150 in a year).
I'm not sure about a broken arm, but I think it's free.
I live in Denmark now - the only difference is that there is no cost with going to the doctor.
I think you’ve been in Denmark for to long hehe.
It’s $350/year these days.
Still very good though, and hospitals are usually free.
After giving birth a few years ago, the only cost was ish $30 in parking for two days.
Yeah, I think you're right! 7.5 years is quite a long time... But too long, considering the inflation in Norway? It's been fun spending my Danish kroner in Norway - it's like it all is 40% off.
I (the dad) had to pay my stay in hospital hotel after the birth, but it wasn’t outrageously expensive. The food at the restaurant was outrageously bad and expensive though.
Also I had to pay 500$ for vasectomy at a private health care provider, because the public ones don’t do it anymore. Our system gets a little better and a little worse at the same time.
Genuine question, what’s the point of charging the nominal fee? Wouldn’t it start to cost more in administration to charge and keep track of? Does it go to the particular office or to the system?
