So yesterday when I was talking to one of my Swedish friends we broached the subject of American politics, since he's aware that I'm pretty well-versed in it.
The fact that Obama's planning to reform health-care hasn't passed unnoticed in Sweden or anywhere else around the world. Last week, Svenska Dagbladet, their second-largest paper, ran a cover story on Remote Area Medical (Similar to coverage they got on "60 minutes" last year), with the headline "The final option for sick Americans". Bias? Well, it's actually a right-wing newspaper (by their standards).
So as we got into the subject and I tried to explain the shortcomings of the American system, and I reiterated my belief that the Swedish system is superior in almost every way.
But you try telling them that.
