Dutch National Health Care

Dutch National Health Care is a system where everyone in the Netherlands is required to have health insurance. The government ensures basic coverage for essential medical services, such as doctor visits, hospital care, and prescription medicines. Insurance companies offer standard packages, but citizens can choose additional coverage if desired. Healthcare premiums are typically paid monthly, and there is a government-managed subsidy system to help those with lower incomes afford insurance. The system aims to provide accessible, high-quality healthcare for all residents while encouraging preventive care and competition among insurers to control costs and improve service quality.
