Well - I suspect your Norwegian is less than perfect - but it is nice to be told that I am at least better than I was when I started here on DU.
I have always been a defender of universal health care - and my resolve for universal health care have not exactly being less after my experience for the last 3 weeks (I got out of the hospital last Thursday) Even if it do have some issues that should be fixed - at least I am not broke for the next decade or two.... And I know that I would have have been broken the camels back if I had been in the US in hospital for 3 weeks... Specially as I am living on disability and well do not have so much saving in the bank... I'm saving up to a car you se, it would do wonder for my social life at least - but car's cost some in Norway - and for the most part I have had just the cheap cars before I deiced to get rid of the car all together it was to expensive to repair in the end... And this time I think I would save up to a newer - better and maybe more safe car than I have had before..... Not that I really need it - I have both train and bus stop nearby - and less than 40 minutes to the downtown area of our capital Oslo - so I guess I'm fine for the moment if need arise
I hope, one day that even the US will have universal health care as part of their life - even though I doubt it will be anytime soon...
