My Norwegian cousin says they really resent the Pakistan refugees in that county; they eat up services, lowering care for the Norwegians.

However I remember very well when we the family toured England, and one of our sons got something in his eye. They treated him and gave him some antibiotics at no charge. We could not believe it.

NO, socialized medicine does not work. In Ireland you would be on a gurney in the hall, for days. ER wait time could be days.

Doctors educated but emigrate to US, Australia for better wages.

If you want decent care you need private insurance.
