Are you saying that Sweden does not have these problems? Based on what? Do you live there? Any facts?

US problems in health care are not the same as the Swedish problems. Different problems, different solutions.

Disclosure: I live in Sweden and follow the health care debate here.

You misunderstood GP. Rather than disagree with your description of Sweden, GP claimed that Canada also has problems, and offered a theory as to why some people don't appreciate such problems.

To dispel the myth about the Swedish "free" health care system, today about 650 000 swedes have private health care insurance, 70% paid by the employer. This is on top on the already public tax funded health care system.

So basically Sweden is slowly introducing the US system.
