Everyday the thought hits me that I live in a country with private health care and it bothers me equally every time. I moved away from Sweden almost 6 years ago, will I ever ever let this go or nah?
The (employee tax + employer tax + healthcare insurance) is about exactly the same rate between the Netherlands and Sweden, so effectively the same money distributed differently. With the benefit of a public option being less hassle for citizens

I cannot give an opinion on the exact rates but I do know I pay high taxes here and do not receive half the benefits I would back home, which is hence why I do not understand why they not just nationalize the healthcare and make it easier for everyone?

Fascinating. What benefits does Sweden offer that the Netherlands does not? I guess longer parental leave surely is one of them

I’ve had friends who had to look for long to sign up with a huisarts just because it was full everywhere. Which is externally inefficient and time consuming, instead of just going to your local health clinic. In Sweden we don’t have a huisarts but a general clinic in your area

Yeah, GPs tend to have long lines but that’s a different issue from private vs public insurance :)
