Tips ‘n’ Tricks is Grapevine’s information series, where we give those of you newly arrived in Iceland—or hoping to be—some of the practical information you should know. In this edition, culture editor Hannah Jane Cohen and news editor Andie Sophia Fontaine discuss Iceland’s health care system: how to know if you’re covered, how to get covered, and what is even covered.
