I do want to stress that I don't begrudge or think less of what scandinavian people accomplished. Look at the gulf arab states. Some of them 'distributed' their wealth amongst their people on the basis of enslaving foreigners. The biggest one is Saudi Arabia and Jedda didn't use to have a sewer system until 2015 or something. With a different history the wealth of Norway could be in the hands of 12 people instead of a sovereign wealth fund.
So at the end of the day is that people who root for 'AES countries' and people who like 'The Nordics' should stop looking for kinks in each other's armor. If you're american and you live off your own labor there's a handful of policies that you desperately need for yourself. Health care is just one of them. Competing to see which foreigner is truly socialist is what the CIA wants you to do. That's what matters.
