To those people in the world who have access to universal healthcare, what experiences could you share with Americans in order for us to understand how it affects your life (positively or negatively)?

I was leaving the hospital less than 24 hours from first walking into the health centre.

After around 30mins I was called by a nurse who checked my nose. She then went to get a Dr to look further. This Dr then got another Dr to check and confer with.

My nose started to bleed and wouldn’t stop.

Why do Americans and foreigners alike describe the USA as prudish? Why do I see nothing prudish about the USA society? USA feels like one of the loosest countries although Americans claim to be very reserved.

Most answers seem to be from the UK, so I will relate my experience here in Sweden.

They concluded I needed to be referred to the hospital in the next city (40 miles away) and booked an appointment for me for the next day.
