  1. This is a joke right?--------------------About nebuchad, he says in his blog that he said what he said in a joking way, and that it was a part of a story he didn't get to finish. He also said he was terrified that people would think he was a racist because of the statement. He talked to DN about it, and DN apologized and explained the same thing he says in this thread.Imo it's not a big deal at all, and this was an attempt off deadpan comedy that ended in the wrong way;)
  2. If you visit your doctor here, small town or not, you only pay a small amount, and the government covers the rest. There is also a "top amount" you pay. If you are retired, you never have to pay more than 200 NOK a month, even if you visit your doctor every day. 200 NOK =37$. I would say that is manageable for everyone. If you consider the cost of life, the amount in the US would be much, much lower.
  3. Where do you get this from? You seem to mix the old system of the soviet union in to modern social health care. If a country is poor, of course the health care system won't be good. The government can't afford to spend "enough" money, and the people who live in the country won't make enough to pay for health insurance/treatment. Poor countries does not get a discount on medical equipment, and it's expensive.And can you explain why you think health care in America will become so terrible if it's turned into social health care? The hospitals will still have the same doctors, same budgets and sam
  4. You are blowing everything out of proportion. If you have a critical condition, you don't have to wait. But, if it can wait, then you can wait. If they didn't remove your appendix, which I guess was infected, it would have burst and you would stand a great risk of dying.Hospitals have to evaluate how urgent you are in need of surgery, and act based on their decision. This is my father job to coordinate at his hospital. He evaluates the need for orthopedic and neurologic surgery, because this are his fields of specialization, other doctors evaluate other types of patients and my dad makes the f
  5. I'm just saying what I've heard. I don't know for certain if it's true or not. But i am pretty sure I've seen statistics saying ~60% of americans are overweight( which doesn't mean you are a fat bastard, but have a high BMI).Since there is a lot of health issues that comes with being overweight I would imagine that costs would be higher. I'm speculating, not stating a fact.If you were talking about something else, please let me know. I'm pretty sure whatever it is, it's a misunderstanding..
  6. A lot more I guess. 4,2 millions. Doesn't mean it can't work. You have a lot more taxpayers then we do. "Your" health is probably pretty crappy(generalization, bad diet, 60% fat people etcetc. Sorry if you are offended but this is what's said about the country), so the costs might be higher in relation to the population. Don't know if that last sentence makes any sense...
  7. Didn't read though what i wrote so it probably lacks context and has lots of type o's.
  8. Yeah, I think he felt he had more money than he needed, so he gave some to people who work with kids. 1000 people or something like that, and they all sent him cards to thank him and explained what they did with the money and how happy it made the kids. He said it was the best feeling he could possibly imagine.
  9. I see a lot of people here bashing the social health care. I live in a country that has social health care, and I can't imagine living without it. I would much rather pay a small amount more in taxes than having to pay for health insurance. We also have free education, and the american (and most of the world i would think) system sounds devastating for people with 3-4 or more kids that can't get scholarships etc.It's not like you can't have both private and social health care. We have both. My father is a doctor and has worked in both private and public hospitals. He even worked for both at th
