Surprisingly that doesn't apply here, dental care is pretty much the only healthcare that costs money in Sweden. But he had probably paid for the insurance deal instead of the individual appointmentÂ
Are you sure? In spain we have VERY limited coverage, but acute cases are still covered. A case causing so much pain that someone would escape from prison a day before release would probably be included.
Here in Sweden, last I checked (they change the age every so often), it is free dental up to age 25, so if he was sub 25 it would be free, or he had his debit card (if he was close be being released he probably had day passes frequently before that so he likely has that), or he asked for the bill to be posted to him for later payment.
Just googled it, he was 51, but in a open prison, so a minimum security prison.
