Historically, transportation costs and barriers to free trade had caused the disparity, but in recent years, Norwegian policy in labor relations, taxation, and other areas have contributed significantly.

    The future of the welfare state. Since World War II, successive Norwegian governments have sought to broaden and extend public benefits to its citizens, in the form of sickness and disability benefits, minimum guaranteed pensions, heavily subsidized or free universal health care, unemployment insurance, and so on. Public policy still favors the provision of such benefits, but there is increasing debate on making them more equitable and needs-based.
    The US has 'free' healthcare too, it's called the VA. The people the ACA was designed for should have been thrown into that mess instead of having the rest of the country mold their lives around them.

    Honestly, we should just pull out and leave the rest of the world to fend for themselves.

    Outside of the UK, Israel, Japan, and Australia, everyone else can go **** themselves.

    Does it matter who did what or when, for what reason?

    God, that's a good line. I'm going to use that from now on.
