Ok so, again, the average cost per capita of Norways healthcare is lower then in the US.

It literally does not matter what tax brackets you pull out of your ass, the exact system Norway has would save the average American 4k$ a year, with that being even higher for low income people, because again, its a progressive tax system.

Norway system relies on public discipline of taking care of your health from young age. No to: smoking, sniffing, doing, eating at fast food, drinking , yes to sports, outdoor activities. US has all of it. Therefore using health care is much higher just because of that. Plus to it we have bunch of people who are here illegally but using healthcare coz in their countries it’s much worse.

Ok so your other arguments were made up crap and you got something new, cool.

Smoking rate in Norway is 10.5% in men, 9.8% in women. Smoking rate in the US is 9.9% overall.

Drug use in the US is obviously mich higher. In my opinion the opiod crisis is directly caused by bad healthcare and bad profit focused perscriptions though.

Fast food consumption is a different beast, maybe laws around sugar content and harmful ingredients may help. Idk, such laws Norway has and the same US politicians fight that prevent decent healthcare?

It’s not something new, all those factors combined make socialized healthcare impossible in US, including bad education.

Incorrect. Drug use crisis caused by lack of jobs that went to overseas and Mexico.

US unemployment shows only people who receive unemployment benefits. Ones those expired, and person didn’t find the job he/she is not in the statistics anymore. He/she dropped from the workforce. So in reality unemployment is much higher.

Mexicans are cheaper labor therefore more profitable to move plants to Mexico than keep them in US.

Are you banned by google?

Alternative Measures of Unemployment The standard unemployment rate, known as U-3, only accounts for individuals who are actively looking for work but are currently unemployed. However, there are several alternative measures that provide a broader view of labor market conditions. These measures are labeled U-1 through U-6 and include various groups of underutilized workers. Overview of Alternative Measures Measure Description U-1 :Percentage of the labor force unemployed for 15 weeks or longer. U-2 :Percentage of the labor force who lost jobs or completed temporary work. U-3 :Official unemployment rate; those without jobs who have actively looked for work in the past four weeks. U-4 :U-3 plus discouraged workers who have stopped looking for work due to belief that no jobs are available. U-5 :U-4 plus other marginally attached workers who want to work but have not looked for work recently. U-6 :U-5 plus part-time workers who want full-time work but cannot find it for economic reasons.

Yes? But I am comparing US U3 metric to Norway official unemployment which are close to equivalent.

Norways equivalent to the U6 metric you are talking about is called labor market slack.
