Will the care be really priceless later? (Repetition)

We have been away for a week. This episode was originally published on October 3, 2024.

A night in Intensive Care Taken Costs for almost a year in health insurance premium, Maarten discovered during his research for this episode. Care is expensive. And it is only getting more expensive, the coming years. Marike came across alarming figures in various reports, and even supplications to politicians: « talk to voters about this », and: « doing nothing is not an option ».

That is why Maarten and Marike not only discuss in this episode why the care becomes more expensive, but also how much. And can you do anything about this? How is care in the Netherlands actually (financially) arranged? How do we do it compared to other countries? And what does our future look like?
