Lol wtf? How about offering healthcare to your own damn country you big orange goof
I am not sure, "You, too, can have American healthcare!" is the best of marketing slogans. You know, considering the man that allegedly killed a health care CEO is a veritable folk hero, and such. That should tell you how much even Americans dislike America's health care system.
"Oh you looked at the hospital ship. That will be $50,000 in hospital fees. Thank you for paying."
Ha! So true: a friend of mine injured himself on a mountain bike. An ambulance drove by, stopped, looked at his injury, and tried to bill him thousands of dollars for the privilege.
Denmark's health care system be like, bro, if you want we can give you some tips on how to improve your game.
Yeah, he might as well offer to send school shooters, and round out the typical "dunking on the US" checklist.
Personally, I'd consider it a declaration of war.
The man being framed for killing a healthcare CEO but is innocent is a veritable folk hero you mean surely.
Yeah mentioning health care maybe not the best strategy here, what with the ruinously high costs that the entire world mocks and laughs at, ridiculing us for allowing profiteers to overcharge by such an extent on an essential service.
Thou speaketh with the wisdom I would have wanted to have!
Has Trump considered making the ship look like a big horse?
Or maybe his penis, since he's determined to inflict it on them whether they like it or not.
Only if they name it after him first.
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.
The Danish have probably heard the story of the Trojan horse
It's like that ex that just won't leave you alone and comes up with crazier and crazier excuses to get involved with your life again.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
