President Donald Trump has said the U.S. is sending a hospital ship to Greenland because people there are not getting care, but the claim faces pushback. He said in a Truth Social post Saturday that the ship is already on the way though the two U.S. ships appeared to be docking in Alabama. The Pentagon has directed questions regarding the hospital ships to the White House, which did not immediately respond. The leaders of Greenland and Denmark have defended their heath care system in response to Trump's allegations. They point out that Greenland offers free public health care, unlike the U.S.
An estimated 31,000 registered nurses and other front-line Kaiser Permanente health care workers will return to work on Tuesday after a four-week strike in California and Hawaii to demand better wages and staffing.

IV therapy clinics are springing up around the country, touting quick ways to recover from a hangover or a hard workout. But doctors and regulators preach caution before plunging into a visit. The service has been on a growth spurt since the COVID-19 pandemic, offering drips that also aim to boost energy levels or immune systems or deal with things like joint pain. Regulators worry about who delivers the treatments, the source of any pharmaceuticals used and how the services are provided. Customers should come prepared to ask questions before they get connected.
