“Norwegian hospitals are free though. I was just surprised the first time I learned Norwegians pay at all to visit the doctor because I assumed we had the same system.”

    Preventative checks are used in Sweden where there’s evidence for their efficacy - for example, mammograms for all women over 40, screening for colorectal cancer for everyone over 60, etc.

    It’s just that evidence for efficacy is the bar that each screening has to clear, and general yearly health checkups did not clear that bar.
