I'm a bit unsure if this is the right sub to post this in, but I think it fits.
In Norway we have pretty good health care and the thing I appreciate most, being young and poor, is "frikort" (free card, don't know if it has an actual english term). After you've paid a certain amount (this year it's almost $300) you get a frikort and you're excused from paying any more medical bills that year. Before 2021, there were two different frikort with separate amounts. My psychologist bills would count for card 1 and my physiotherapy bills would count for card 2. This year they've been combined, however.
A frikort covers the doctor, medicine/supplements and medical equipment under a blue prescription, a psychologist, the hospital, laboratories and x-ray places, physiotherapy, and certain dental illnesses. You might still have to pay the bills but the state will pay you back within a week.
For reference, a doctors appointment and public psychologist appointment will usually be about $50. Children under 16 don't pay anything for healthcare.
So I'm wondering, what you guys think about this system? What are the pros and, more interestingly, the cons?
