Free healthcare as well

As a citizen of a country with free healthcare, Sweden, I wonder how we deal with these issues. We dont exactly have a stellar record when it comes to software procurement in the health sector.

Swedish healthcare is pretty cheap, but not free.

It's typically $10-$50 per visit. Maxes out at $130 per year.

This probably weeds out a lot of frivolous visits and keeps the system healthy.

Neither do we in the UK.

The most expensive IT failure in our governments history was healthcare related.

That sounds eerily familiar to what happened in Sweden.
