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

My own experience from Brazil is pretty good overall.
I have free therapist it’s been a year. Free appointments with psychiatrist and neurologist. Free transport to specialized doctors in other cities when needed. Once I had to go throught a surgery, kept in the hospital for 2 days, and some weeks of daily visits to change bandages (it was a little complicated). I didn’t spent a cent on all this.
My mom also got free appointment to ophthalmologist, not just that but they also paid for her new glasses as well.
You’ll see some complains about quality of services and it’s true, some people say that appointments may take ages I also hear that often, but as personal experience I never faced it. Maybe because I live in a small town in a small region as well. So queues are short or non-existent.
I had a friend from Argentina and the health system there is pretty similar if not even better.
It’s a good country to live in, I don’t think I’d like to live somewhere else. Basically any health problem you can rely on universal health system and having this support independently of anything (if you work or not, if you have money or not) feels good.
