"The Swedes who fail to leave a forwarding address are doomed to forever be checking the mailbox " (Photo from flickr)The Swedish National Health Insurance Agency sent a while ago a letter to a woman informing her about her death. The woman who was seriously ill with cancer but hanging in there, was surprised to find out that she was dead to the state. 'We regret the error,' the Agency is reported to have commented later, 'she has accidentally been sent a letter intended for someone else.'
Am I alone to wonder to whom was the letter intended? To some actually dead woman with similar name whom the Agency suspected had trouble finding her way into the Light? Your tax krona at work!
The Swedish medical care is, according to the victims reporting in the blogosphere, in worse shape than the sick it has abandoned. At least everyone agrees it is nowhere near what the Swedes have hyped it up to be. The Swedes dying alone and abandoned do have one solace: A post mortum form letter from the health Insurance Agency to look forward to. Always something .
