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

    We pay 25 usd ish per doctors appointment in Norway. With a cap of 300 or something.

    Some medication you’ll have to pay for. But it’s pretty heavily subsidised.

    But like when my wife gave birth, we paid nothing

      This is basically how Japan is. Very very affordable, even if we don’t pay the national insurance. Husband went to the emergency room for a kidney stone, after everything I think we paid like $200. Also the vet (for animals) is ridiculously cheap.
