As Twitchy told you yesterday, Nikki Haley called out Bernie Sanders for citing Finland’s “$60” childbirth costs as evidence that America’s health care system is a “disgrace.”

In the United States it costs, on average, $12,000 to have a baby. In Finland it costs $60. We've got to end the disgrace of our profit-driven health care system and pass Medicare for all. — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) March 6, 2019

Health care costs are too high that is true but comparing us to Finland is ridiculous. Ask them how their health care is. You won’t like their answer. — Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) March 20, 2019

This will likely come as a major shock to you, but Nobel-winning economic genius Paul Krugman completely missed Haley’s point:

I thought people had gotten well past the delusion that America has the world's best health care — let alone imagining that Scandinavian nations are socialist hellholes. But I guess I was wrong. https://t.co/uPPfeX2fLi — Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 21, 2019

Funny, we don’t recall Haley suggesting that Finland is a “socialist hellhole.” All we was was her pointing out that while health care costs are indeed high in this country, we are not, in fact Finland. And that maybe — just maybe — Finland’s health care system isn’t as great as leftist tools like Krugman think it is.

Actually, the thought that we had a UN Ambassador that ignorant about the world would be troubling, if it weren't so much a piece with everything else going on in Trumpist America — Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 21, 2019

The thought that the Nobel Committee gave their economics prize to an economist that ignorant about the world is actually a lot more troubling. Because despite what Krugman and Bernie Sanders contend, giving birth in Finland doesn’t cost $60. It costs a lot more than that. Free stuff is actually pretty expensive in a socialist utopia. And Finns are most definitely paying for it.

This is a disingenuous thread from Krugman. Nowhere does @NikkiHaley say that Finland is a "socialist hellhole." She points out that while HC costs in the US are Finns aren't happy w/ their socialized system. Which is true: https://t.co/kipxJIsGqa — David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) March 21, 2019

Only this month, the coalition government in Finland was forced to resign over failing to bring about health-care reforms to lower costs. https://t.co/pL73mwGE2z — David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) March 21, 2019
