Sweden offers the best care and chance of survival against cancer in the Nordic countries, according to a new study published in The Lancet medical journal. However, we do have queues for optional surgeries and as in the US the amount of doctors being trained is kept artificially low so we have a lack of them (helps with keeping the wages high). Also paperwork. Tons and tons of paperwork for the doctors.

If it is so bad for companies in Sweden why is Facebook putting down billions in SEK on a server park here? (Most of it in electricity though)

What a huuuuuge load of propaganda. Dude is lying, but I'm too lazy to look up the facts. Especially the thing that Swedish healthcare rides entirely on American innovation... In the least it's a lie because germany has a huge pharma and medical equipment industry, and there are very probably some swedish firms as well.... what a licked douche-cunt

I should add: I'm Swedish as well, and I do not agree with what is being said here. I'm just posting it because I found it interesting to hear his viewpoints, even if they might be wrong.

Upvoting so more people hear the lies and talking points of people who call themselves liberals when in fact they should call themselves corporate-liberals.
