Hari: I meant that I didn't fall seriously ill and hence never tested the health care/delivery system. I have no doubt as to their technical/medical abilities but the issues have to do with waiting time and sometimes organizational snafus. At least this is what I heard from many of my Danish colleagues. One evidence of this "shortcoming" is the presence of private hospitals to circumvent the waiting times. But it's clear only the very rich in Denmark can afford to have this additional health insurance.
