Denmark’s defense minister said Greenland did not need health care assistance, a day after President Trump said he planned to send a “great hospital boat” to the island.
It should also be noted that the US isn’t capable of sending hospital ships right now; it has two, but they’re both undergoing maintenance and not in any way ready to head to Greenland.


Trying to woo greenland it might not be the best idea to bring up healthcare at all, what with the astronomical costs for routine care we pay over here, ruinous bills, for many times more than we make in a year, for a single weekend at a hospital that used to cost a modest amount of money.
Like the couple that was from europe and had insurance for this reason, and the insurance tried to cheat them because it’s American so of course it does because who is going to stop them, and got a bill for 200,000 dollars, for their baby to be delivered. I forget if it was a c section or what, nothing too complicated though, a weekend in the hospital, 200,000.
My trip to a specialist, 45 minutes with them, they sent a bill for 1,050. But insurance paid for it, but they sent that bill hoping I would pay anyway so they could either get double paid or just not pay themselves.
That is the kind of care they can look forward to if they join team America. It’s great for some unless you get sick or down on your luck in which case god hates and you and you deserve to die sorry we don’t make the rules. If god wanted you to live he wouldn’t have put you in a position to be charged 200,000 dollars for a procedure that we won’t do until we get the payment up front. Start a gofundme drive bitch! /s
My wife spent almost 2 weeks in hospital, after our child was born. The biggest expense was parking, at £25. £12.50/week.
Socialised health care is awesome.
