You know there is a cap on our medical insurance benefits. Our lifetime benefit is $1,000,000.00. That is for the whole family. Once that amount is reached no more benefits, period. I know it sounds like a lot of money, but one serious accedent or illness will eat that up. Does this sound as wrong to anyone else as it does to me?

It's sounds wrong to me too. As you say an expensive treatment of some sort would eat that up. Specially if there is need of treating cancer something like that. To get treated and getting a surgery should be free, since it's a matter of saving someones life. A hospital or doctor shouldn't be motivated by money.

By the way, there's no private school in Sweden. Not between kindergarden and up to 9th grade. Then after that is there some private high schools, but they've been critized to have lower demands then regular school ( meaning public).

Also going to college in Sweden is pretty much free. The only cost is buying books and renting an aprtment (if needed) but there is not payment that you have to make to the schools. All universities and bigger colleges is owned by the state. Or at least financed by the goverment. Which means a poor guy could become a doctor without having to spend much money on the education. Plus he gets money from the state to fund his expencive for school materials.

But this system isn't perfect, of course no system is. But it has few flaws and is more fair then having private schools, healthcare and so on.
