I was surprised to find out that in Denmark, one of the happiest countries in the world known for its extensive social welfare, you still have to pay for things like certain healthcare services and dental treatments. While healthcare is largely funded through taxes and is high-quality, there are still out-of-pocket costs for specific services that can catch visitors off guard. It struck me as unexpected given the country’s reputation for providing free services!
