I feel more fearful the longer I stay in Sweden, and I question how this country will continue to function over time. I broke down crying today after feeling defeated yet again in trying to contact a health clinic. I have never felt a system work against me so much as what I feel in Sweden, whether it's setting up a bank account, getting a hold of a nurse at a health clinic, or obtaining a drivers license. Day after day the nearest neurology department's answering machine says, "Call tomorrow." Over time a feeling of helplessness develops, and not knowing who to turn to for help. - Lauren Ell, President, Republican Atheists

It's bad. Everyone talks about long wait times to see a doctor, but they should also mention how bureaucratic EVERYTHING is. Getting a drivers license is going to cost almost $1000 and requires multiple courses - Americans have called it a scam. Opening a bank account as a person with a work visa requires jumping through all kinds of hoops.
