37. One forgotten cost
Wed Apr 2, 2025, 04:27 PM
Apr 2025

I expect one cost not factored in is healthcare.

According to Wikipedia:

The healthcare system in Greenland is a publicly financed governmental responsibility managed by the Agency for Health and Prevention.

Greenlanders would not want our for profit healthcare system.
Higher prescription drugs
Insurers deciding what treatment they will or not pay for.
Etc.
