How the Swedish Health Care System Works

This might be of some interest to some readers of this blog--Matt Yglesias describes the Swedish health care system during his trip over there:

In a turn of phrase that I expect we’ll never see in an official U.S. government document, I’m told that “Swedish health and medical care is based on the principles that care should be provided on equal terms and according to need, that is should be under democratic control and financed on the basis of solidarity.”


"Equal"? "According to need?" "Solidarity"? Man these guys are just a bunch of good looking commies.
