We don't need health insurance in Norway. ("universal health care" or what's it called in English?)

Isn't Norway's government is funded by gas and oil? Burn down the planet so we can have free health care

The economy may be well-boosted by the oil, but note that all the money is put into a fund and invested globally, and only a small percentage may be used in the government's budget each year. So no, free healthcare isn't funded by oil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Nor...

And while I don't support our continued extraction of oil, I feel like your comment is quite weird. How is it relevant in this context? Lots of other nations have public health care without having oil. Besides, the US produces many, many times more oil each year than Norway, so your argument is a complete non sequitur.

Whatever beef you have, please don't include me in it.
