“Health care costs are too high that is true but comparing us to Finland is ridiculous,” Haley tweeted. ” Ask them how their health care is. You won’t like their answer.”

…”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. He added that the United Nations describes Finland as having the world’s third-lowest infant mortality rate and the lowest maternal mortality.

…Despite significantly higher health care spending than Finland, the United States has the worst overall child mortality rate compared with 19 other wealthy nations in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, according to a study published last year in the journal Health Affairs.

…And it does not fare well either when it comes to the maternal mortality rate for women. In the US, it’s 14 per 100,000 women — nearly five times higher than Finland, which is three, according to the World Health Organization. The number puts the United States in the company of several nations, including Uruguay and Serbia.

…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.
