I'm norwegian.

I have two kids, and have used the emergency care unit a couple of times throughout my life. Total cost $0 in care fees. (They are allowed to charge for stuff like bandages and such for non layovers, usually $5-$20 each visit).

We don't have health insurance, but some insurance companies have begun selling "treatment guarantee" which guarantees start of treatment typically within 14 days of injury. (For non life threatening ailments of course. Elbow pains, leg pains, such..) The best thing about those are that they are usually paid for by your employer because they want you back at work as soon as possible :D (The premium is added to our income tax though)

Socialism hell yeah!
