Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It is a bit weird to pick Sweden for that example because you do have to pay for dental care yourself too. There are some subsidies of course, but it isn't abnormal to pay the equivalent of 100 EUR for a visit, even if its just to clean teeth from toothstone.
I got scammed a few times when the hygienist or dentist just told me they really need to show me how to properly brush and then I get charged another 50 EUR just for that. Without them telling me beforehand that this will cost extra.
Unless you are under 18 (or under 25?), then it is free at least. But really it should be free for all under general healthcare.
Source: me, I live here and its the example I used in my comment above.
Oh yeah im under 25. But its still better than in hungary where you basically pay for everything. Source: i lived in both places. Also my mom also gets it free, thats probably some work related thing then ig
