I feel like they missed the most important parts of the Dutch health insurance system…

The Dutch system also requires payment of monthly premiums. The US premiums reflect the cost to insure the US’s significantly less healthy population.

  • I very much doubt that is true. Medical care is much cheaper when you don’t have to wait until it’s life threatening to get it.
