      You have never been to a hospital in Sweden i hear/read. I resently paid 300 sec $30 to see a doctor that gave me a precription of 25 tablets of Pronaxen Antiinflamatoric that cost me another 80 sec $ 8.... How free is that? Long time ago after a car accident i stayed at the hospital for a few days, and got a bill in the mail a few days after getting home. Dont remember how much it was, but its a myth that we have free healtcare in Sweden. What we dont have is bills with 4-5 digits like they get in the U.S! Thats why they pay for a insurance that we dont need.

      @@hakan8997 Just imagine the cost if we did not have the taxes. Also the cost of going to regular clinics nurses (100 kr) and specialists doctors (300 kr) are a part of the hig cost protection (högkostnadsskyddet don't know the correct translation :)) So if you visit the doctors often the cost goes down just like it does for medication. I know since i goes to nurses and have medicine for my diabetes. For my medication it gets free for me pretty fast since one of them is pretty expensive (1400 kr/month) first pay 1400, second pay about 800 third one about 400 and then nothing for the rest of the year. When it goes for the visit i don´t visit enought imes n a year to get up to the maximum for high cost protection so I need to pay my 100kr each time i go to the nurse to check my blodsuger values through bloodtests.

      We pay a bunch of small fees for appointments etc. and also for our meds up to a certain amount. It isn't a waltz freely into the hospitals but we sure don't have to pay our soul and life to cover a broken bone or smaller surgeries. it is NOT free but heavily reduced costs because it is tax funded.

    The falls in Sweden can be brutal at least where i live at the West coast. It's always windy and when it rains, which it does a lot, and we the locals say it's raining from every possiblke direction simultaineoulsy! When you see a broken umbrella in a trash bin you know for sure that either the fall is here or that you live in Gothenburg! Young kids who comes from rich wealthy families and not ashamed to show it we call them brats! In general he's right about his observations regarding the word "lagom". As a Swede i can't say i'm very much happy to pax tax on everything. Yes health care is somewhat free and the schools up until like high school although we don't use that term here. I think his data/statistics regarding Swedes leaving home are dated. You hear can read almost every day how hard it is to get an appartment today especially if you wanna rent one. This forces people to stay with their parents longer than they might want to.

    As a swede I wonder where this statistics are coming from, because in my knowledge swedes are moving out much later this days, caused by the lack of affordable dwellings. But many kids live outside their parents home during their high school or college education. I think you have to look at statistic where people are getting their first own living.

    • @Lofftsno
      @Lofftsno Před 16 dny +2

      moving out for gymnasiet or university is still moving out. From what I know, most people move, outside the big cities, between the ages of 16 and 23. In the bigger cities it is a little later
      To clarify for non-Swedes: If you move when you are 16, parents still take care of the finances. This is most common among people in rural areas as it can be difficult to get the education they want otherwise

      I've been thinking the exact same thing every time I've seen this video of Stefan's. I'm from Stockholm, and I can't come up with any friend of mine moving out before their late 19's and some of them have stayed with their parents until 24 or so. I mean, my brother still lives with our parents, and he's 27. I know that's pretty old tho, but still. I'm 31, and due to the lack of apartments in general, and affordable ones in particular, I'm gonna have to stay with a friend until I find something for myself (just moving out from a student apartment).

      @mikaelathunell2822 Před 12 dny

      @@satanihelvetet I would count apartments for university students as moving out, I think most of them finds their own place after graduation, or maybe get back to their parents for just a couple of months. But if one has already been living by oneself, with one's own rental agreement etc for 4 or 5 years, does those years not count if one gets back with their parents for 3 mounts? I wouldn't say so.
      But, for those how attends a boarding school for highschool, I wouldn't say they moved out at 16. It's not their own place, they don't have to take full adult responsibility and suport themself and they probably still spend the leaves at their parents. On top of that, I think it way more rare for them to find something own right after graduating highschool and they therefore move back to their parents for another year or two.

    My income tax is 53% and to be honest I could stand to pay a bit more because even if it was 90% I would be very well off. I try to support causes I agree with in addition but every now and again you see those organisations existing to enrich the owners and very little actually goes to the cause. I found a couple of organisations to support and I do that.
    It's not like I can take it with me when I go and my kids are doing really well and with the properties alone they would be dollar millionaires so there is no need to save any of it for them.

    It should be noted that SFI (Swedish For Immigrants) is free, you don't need to buy anything and you are more than welcome to attend those classes online or in person, in fact it is highly encouraged and the teachers are ACTUAL teachers who have a degree rather than random people who work different strategies to teach you the language.
    Kind of disappointed that he didn't mention that but I guess that's the "individualism" he's talking about, where everyone is out to make a buck on immigrants. It's quite pathetic.
