And? What is your point?

The Dutch is also one of the best. Singapore too. You can bring examples pro contra for both types.

I think the regulation that makes a healthcare good or bad, not that it is private or public. Many public healthcares are in Eastern Europe are bad. Some private healthcares are also bad. I still think that a combination of private and public offering is probably the best with regulation being the QA.

My previous comment was to point out that public healthcares can be bad, if it was not clear. Many of my friends do not want to have any nuanced discussion just, public good, private bad.

Sure, once you get passed the useless home doctor (huisarts).

Well yes, but that is not a real problem.
Holland spends 20% more on health per capita than the Uk
20% more of what?
Money
