re: #118 SixDegrees

I guess the question is: what about the unemployed, and others who are simply unable to come up with that kind of money every month? There must either be some sort of “safety net” that provides for them, or they’re SOL and don’t get treated - reminiscent of the 10% to 15% of the US population that doesn’t have coverage for one reason or another.

You’re not going to like the answer…
Unemployment is pretty good pay in the Netherlands..
If I was dutch I’d just hang out on the Canal painting pictures and living off the Dole..Weee!
Jeez the taxes are so high…My buddy has a SUV and pays around 50 euro a month just to drive it.. A road tax…Tax. tax.. tax..It’s all about taxes…
Meanwhile.. The Hoopster dreams about painting pictures and making a couple grand a month.. Ah the good life
