(CNN) The top Finnish envoy to the United Nations joined a chorus of people slamming Nikki Haley for saying the European nation's health care system is lacking compared to that of the United States.

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.

"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."
