I don’t know about Sweden, but in Canada there is a sign with the prices for non-Canadians next to the check in desk in the Emergency. I’m willing to bet that even though it was expensive, it’s still cheaper than the US.

    For what it’s worth, the language barrier was pretty significant from a written signs perspective. I showed up at what I guessed was the right spot, went inside, gave them my passport, and they returned it with a bill for $450 (it was expressed in kr, but this is what it converted to). I eventually went in and spoke to a doctor who took no vitals, did no tests, and gave me no medicine. And that was the visit.

    I’ve seen a doctor as an American with no insurance a number of times. For a basic GP visit, it’s probably half that price and that’s with basic vitals included.
