As an American I’m curious what it’s like if you need to go to the doctor and how much you pay from say a broken arm to general checkup. Also list what country please

    Sweden.

    I broke my knee at 16. Hospital bill: $0 (because I was under age at the time)

    Any consultation with a nurse/doctor follows the standard fee of:~$25

    Everyone gets free dental until they turn 26 years old.

    My dad recently broke his arm (again). The total bill from the hospital including casting and xray: ~$35

    If you have to spend more than ~$200 on medications in a year, you will be capped at that amount and everything above is literally, free.

    Same goes for doctors visits but that’s a separate ~$200 cap reached independently
