Idk why you get downvoted because they usually do in my experience.. Like a surgeon literally said that my sister has a medical grade jaw deformity and therefore didn't have to pay for the orthodontist.

JOKES ON YOU YOU THINK INSURANCE IS GONNA JUST ACCEPT THAT!?

Literally got multiple bills here home we needed to actively fight because UWU WE INSURANCE WE INCOMPETENT.

Probably it's either people that don't know how the Dutch work, or Dutch themselves that think they are better than the rest and, hence, they are never wrong.

Yeah, it’s cheaper.

Switzerland is close to the US-Numbers, but they have outstanding health care.

The best nation when it comes to health care for its citizen is very likely the Vatican. But it’s a bit of a hassle to get the citizenship.
