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

    I’m Norwegian, where you have to pay about $30 to go to the doctor (which is set to $0 after spending $150 in a year).

    I’m not sure about a broken arm, but I think it’s free.

    I live in Denmark now - the only difference is that there is no cost with going to the doctor.

      I think you’ve been in Denmark for to long hehe.
      It’s $350/year these days.
      Still very good though, and hospitals are usually free.

      After giving birth a few years ago, the only cost was ish $30 in parking for two days.

        Yeah, I think you’re right! 7.5 years is quite a long time… But too long, considering the inflation in Norway? It’s been fun spending my Danish kroner in Norway - it’s like it all is 40% off.
