On the other hand, here at the great socialist Nordics, if I go to the public health care and say I want a check-up, they'll laugh me out. I won't even meet a doctor.
And I guess they are right. They say our public health care system is excellent.
If I say I have chest pain, a nurse will assess me and decide if I need to see a doctor. Overall, real, acute emergencies are taken care of quite well.
I don't do annual checkups. They say such checkups are not needed. My employer paid for one at a private doctor when I turned 50. I've heard that if we were more like Canada, that would be illegal.
