Health care user fees are worth considering. Most countries in Europe, including Sweden and Denmark, have them. Doctors will tell you emergency rooms have frequent visitors, people who are hypochondriacs or just lonely, who take up a lot of their time. Treating Mrs. Jones for the third time in a month for her stomach pains and feelings of exhaustion is a substantial drag on the system.
What you don't want is for the fees to deter people from needed care at an early stage and create a situation where they need more acute care later. It's a tricky balance.
