Denmark has been described as a socialist hellhole by FOX...

They have universal healthcare and free college, a $25 minimum wage, and most workers work 35 hours/week.

I wonder why this "socialist hellhole" is the happiest country in the world?

Uh, they DO NOT HAVE FUCKING FREE HEALTH CARE.

That would mean they have SLAVERY.

DOCTORS get paid. So it's not free.

@Reason10 It's free at the point of service, like police and firefighters. Doctors are compensated through taxation. That's what America should have.

In Denmark, healthcare is primarily financed through taxes and a universal healthcare system providing comprehensive coverage to all residents. While most medical care is free at the point of use, there may be co-payments for certain services like prescription medicines and dental care. In 2024, Denmark's healthcare spending was 10.8% of GDP, amounting to over USD 7,000 per capita.

Le's compare it to the USA: In 2024, per capita healthcare spending in the USA is estimated to have reached $14,570.

US GDP per capita: 82,769.41 USD (2023)

Denmark GDP per capita: 68,453.88 USD (2023)

But as long as we don't bend over to socialism.
