I'll bet LOTS of people in Greenland would LOVE to have an American passport, access to American benefits, and so forth.

lessee...what do they get as Danish subjects?

The right to healthcare services in Greenland

As in all Nordic countries, residents of Greenland have the right to healthcare that is free at point of use, including prescription medicine. However, users pay a proportion of the cost of aids and appliances, such as prosthetics or glasses. You are also entitled to a certain amount of free dental care.

from the net sifter:

Education in Greenland, especially higher education for Nordic citizens, is
largely free at public institutions, though costs for living, materials, and potential language requirements (Greenlandic) apply; for international (non-Nordic) students, tuition fees are charged by the University of Greenland (Ilisimatusarfik) , with costs depending on the program, while primary/secondary education is compulsory and publicly funded.

For Nordic/EU Citizens:

Higher Education: You can study for free at Greenlandic universities and colleges, just like local students.

Requirements: Some programs require knowledge of Greenlandic (Kalaallisut)

Some years ago, God's Gift to Humanity Trump wondered why Norwegians don't move to the US in greater numbers. The world answers "why?"
