    As a Dane, I beg to differ. I think its essential that it’s free to visit the doctor, to not deter necessary visits.

      I concur. I grew up in poverty and even though the sum isn’t particularly large for me today, thinking of the economic situation I grew up in every little bit counts.

      Sure kids don’t pay, but having a sick parent in poverty is not great.
