To those people in the world who have access to universal healthcare, what experiences could you share with Americans in order for us to understand how it affects your life (positively or negatively)?

I was away from home in another region of Sweden

remember this is all out of area

I walked into the local health centre and explained my problem and asked if I could see someone.

What happens when your partner doesn't see the value in you and continuously hurts you by searching for something in others knowing it hurts you?

After around 30mins I was called by a nurse who checked my nose. She then went to get a Dr to look further. This Dr then got another Dr to check and confer with.

seems good to me.

They concluded I needed to be referred to the hospital in the next city (40 miles away) and booked an appointment for me for the next day.

I am skinny, I have been doing 100 pushups a day for more than a month and am seeing very few results, everything is so unfair, I workout more than anyone I know and am still skinny, why cant I build muscle?

I saw 4 Drs, 1 of whom was a specialist, and supporting staff. I had a small surgery.

After an examination by a junior doctor, and a consultation with the consultant. I had a small surgical procedure, and went home.

Most answers seem to be from the UK, so I will relate my experience here in Sweden.

Why cant a narcissist admit when they are wrong?

I was told they were busy but would fit me in when they could but likely it would be 2–3 hours, especially since I was out of area, and not one of their patients. If I remember correctly I paid 200Sek ($20 approx) and sat and waited.

I was leaving the hospital less than 24 hours from first walking into the health centre.

In total I paid roughly $60 + parking

What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

I went to the hospital the next day, paid 400 Sek ($40 ish) and went to the ENT department.
