@alexsavin That is great, but I wonder if “everyone” needs it.

@odd I should probably mention that prescribed medications are also free in Scotland

@alexsavin That’s great too. We have that here also, but there’s a deductible up to around NOK3000/year, after that everything is free.

@odd I’d imagine this deductible would hit the most disadvantaged a lot?

@alexsavin Yes, I’m afraid it does. I think there’s a limit of NOK500/mo, but a lot of people have a hard time scraping 500kr together. It’s not a perfect system. And if you’re older than 20yo, you are not entitled to have free dental care, unless you’re on social security, and even then, you have to get an estimate before you can apply for coverage. Wishing this would change.
