Not a Nordic country but one with a socialist history and with that history I've watched as the NHS has been slowly deconstructed year after year, the UK had a revolutionary social housing project which is now gone sold of to private interests and even labour a party for the working class and one that still calls itself socialist looks more like the Tory's each day being filled to the brim with landlords and sir's, knights. This is why I follow the Marxist philosophy. And attending an interesting meeting a few months ago I can say the Nordic countries aren't fairing much better. Reformism only works at the start and all reforms are liable for conversion.

We're currently trailing wheelchair rentals in NHS hospitals, essentially you go in with a broken leg, waiting hours for a medical examination and the nurse rocks up and asks you to cough up two pound an hour. Of course that two pound won't go back to the NHS instead it goes to a private healthcare contractor.
