I guess she has a health insurance as part of her employment at Adam Savage's Tested.com.

Having a Swedish citizenship, she also has the option to travel back to Sweden, sign a form and within a day or so be eligle for free healthcare there.

Why would she have to sign a form and wait a day to be eligible?

I have never had to sign a form to get healthcare here.

Probably to re-establish the residency status. The same thing is in Canada except the med coverage restarts 3 months after you settle back on the Canadian soil.

Exactly.
