"It's quicker to get a colleague back to work if you have an operation in two weeks' time rather than having to wait for a year," privately insured Anna Norlander told Sveriges Radio. "It's terrible that I, as a young person, don't feel I can trust the health care system to take care of me." The insurance plan guarantees that she can see a specialist within four working days, and get a time for surgery, if needed, within 15. [Source] [BJS]
