The incident started when Sen. Bernie Sanders criticized the cost of childbirth in the United States, saying it's about $12,000 compared to $60 in Finland. "We've got to end the disgrace of our profit-driven health care system and pass Medicare for all," Sanders tweeted. Haley, who served as the United States ambassador to the United Nations until last year, fired back at Sanders on Wednesday night and indicated Finland's health care is not as popular among its citizens.
— Nikki Haley March 20, 2019 Read MoreFinland's top UN envoy responds Following Haley's tweet, Finland's permanent representative to the UN tweeted a series of statements on health care in the nation."Finland has a high performing health system, with remarkable good quality in both primary and hospital care. The country also achieves good health status at relatively low level of health spending," Kai Sauer tweeted.
— Kai Sauer March 21, 2019 Infant mortality is considered a basic measure of public health for countries worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When it comes to under-five mortality rates, Finland has 2.3 deaths per 1,000 live births, according to the United Nations Children's Fund, while the US has 6.6 per 1,000 live births for the same age group. In this case, the under-five mortality rate refers to the probability of dying by age 5 per 1,000 live births.
Republicans and reality are often strangers to each other.
Yea because of the illegal immigrants overflowing into our country without immunizations! Finland does not have this problem. Apples for apples people!
WHAT ABOUT BABY MORTALITY RATE WITH DEMS KILLING BABIES,& UNBORNS
If you complain for the line and the inefficiency at USPS, wait until you have government healthcare
Yeah I bet we do. Planned Parenthood killed 360,000 babies. each year.
Nikki Haley is an idiot.
IlvesToomas I am a Finnish healthcare provider working in the US. Waited for a surgery 3 months in the US, my nephew for 5 days in Finland. We had free maternal care in 1945 right after the war. Her false statements mean she must be running for something...
I can't believe this 😯😯
Let's really screw it up with government healthcare.
Look to illegal aliens. Subtract them. And the anti-vaxxers. Now what is the number? I forgot the illegal drugs flowing across the borders that are laced with fentanyl. Subtract that from your statistic as well,
the No-nothing party. the no-nothing country.
Well when you allow the killing of babies at birth and shortly after the mortality rate is of course higher!! WalkAwayFromDems
What an empty headed clown she is
CC: NikkiHaley
You do realize that there government resigned because they could fix the healthcare deficits?
Cute
I saw her comment and it wasn’t about Finland’s healthcare. More smear tactics CNN!
IlvesToomas Now do South Carolina vs Finland. cnn NikkiHaley usembfinland
It wasn’t a comment....it was a lie about healthcare in Finland. She’s a typical GOP “leader”...lie and/or make up facts to support your otherwise unsupportable position.
Finland's healthcare is not exactly in a healthy place...
And Haley is supposed to be one of the smarter Republicans. They've become the party of self-humiliation.
It's almost like first world health services give better outcomes for less money than the third world arrangements the US prefers. Who woulda thunk it?
This is what happens when you let the pharmaceutical industry hijack the medical system.
IlvesToomas Also US has the highest mortality of mothers giving birth among the developed countries. US health care is an enrichment machine, not a care.
To be fair, it's entirely possible that NikkiHaley has no idea what she's talking about ...
With your new demrat party laws you dont have to be worried about mortality rate. It will drop to 0 as it s now called abortion and is praised by your DNC congress members.
Vaccines from day one, and SAD - Standard American Diet
Do they also rake their forest floors? Picking on Scandinavian Countries is risky. They are way ahead of the USA in the one thing that counts in Life. Happiness. Being happy is important and being crass, greedy, and arrogant are important qualities to the Republican Party
LOL More fake news
She need to mind her own business!!
She’s proudly ignorant.
ONLY BY MAJESTICALLY BUTT HURT LIBERALS WHO CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. THAT SOCIALISM DOESN'T WORK.
Wow
2024 for sure.
