I thought socialized medicine was wonderful and the Norwegians were the happiest people in the world.

So who DID pay for the treatment? And how much did it cost?

Aspirin and bandaids, sure ... they cost less than pennies and can command many dollars in cost. (profit for the manufacturer and the insurer)

But real medical care ?

America is such a great country...Norway...

“Everybody talks about how wonderful Norway’s health care is, and that was my experience until I needed medical treatment for my cancer,” says Hollan, 52.

I look at socialist vs. free market health care coverage as analogous to veterinary medicine for livestock vs. pets. Ranchers want the biggest bang for the buck, so they invest in preventatives like vaccines, but spend very little if an animal develops a more serious disorder. Pet owners, OTOH, care less about the expense and more about a positive outcome, so they are willing to spend much more than the rancher on care for individual animals.

That is socialized medicine: go all out on the minor stuff, but set limits on spending on serious diseases.

Has she overstayed her visa? How is she here legally?

How much US Dollars foreign aid money is given Norway? OK, pay the bill off with that!

Norway stop complaining to us, complain to the EU,

for all the good it will do you.

[Norwegian government refuses to pay for it]

Why should the taxpayers of Norway pay for it?

It's not part of the deal, a deal they freely chose and, AFAIK, are quite happy with.
