Editing Universal health care (section)

===Norway===
[[Norway]] has a tax-funded mandatory system run by four Regional Health Authorities. For anyone below 16 years of age as well as pregnancy related issues there is no cost, while others pay a nominal fee for examinations, and pay for medication (some heavily subsidized). There is an upper annual cost limit (US$250 in 2015) per person; everything above that is free. Hospitalization and related ambulance services are always free. All have the right to a choice in hospitals. Health services are provided by a combination of public and private entities, where the private entities compete for government contracts. Dental care is, with some exceptions, not covered by the universal health care system, but is free for youths up to 18 years of age. Supplemental private health insurance also exists, usually as job fringe benefit, and is mostly used to get quicker access to services in non-urgent matters that does not require hospitalization.

Expenditure on healthcare is about US$9715 per capita per year, among the highest in the world.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Britnell|first1=Mark|title=In Search of the Perfect Health System|date=2015|publisher=Palgrave|location=London|isbn=978-1-137-49661-4|page=87|accessdate=27 November 2015}}</ref>
