Isn't healthcare free in Finland?

[–] Gekkonen@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

It used to be nice, it's still nice if you're dying. The big problem is getting there as some data suggests Finland now has by far the longest wait times to see a doctor in Europe. Current government implemented austerity measures combined with economic difficulties since the 90s recession that screwed us over.

Lol, no, not in any way. :DDD

Don't expect it to be terribly different in Norway. If you are dying and/or need emergency care it is probably ok/good, but just your average healthcare is annoying at best and you have to beg for any kind of specialist treatment.

That's honestly what I'm expecting.
