In a surprising proposal, former President Trump has suggested offering each resident of Greenland $100,000 if they agree to secede from Denmark. Alternatively, they could opt for a single visit to an American doctor, a gesture that humorously underscores the high costs of healthcare in the United States.

Initially, the cash seemed enticing to some Greenlanders. However, the realization of having to navigate the complex and costly American healthcare system quickly changed their minds, as they'd be giving up their current universal healthcare coverage.

Health experts noted that $100,000 would suffice for an American doctor to inquire, "So what brings you in today?" before referring the patient to an uncovered specialist. A routine medical visit in the U.S. could involve a $4,000 consultation, a $30,000 test, and a $66,000 follow-up.

Trump defended the U.S. healthcare system, stating, "It's a premium system. Very exclusive. Not everyone can afford to get sick here, and that's how you know it's good." Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson argued that despite higher costs, Americans receive more for their money, including forms, phone calls, and thrilling experiences like being asked for insurance details while unconscious in an ambulance.
