Hey Charlie Vest!! Thank you for the shout out!!! We are big fans of yours! Keep up the good work!!
i love both of your channels ❤ iv seen this video on your channel first and now on itsCharlieVest and im so glad your oke 😎 and im very proud of the dutch ambulance team/medics! much love to you all from a dutchie near Arnhem ✌
Still didn't see the comparison video. Have you even had your bill (or better, did the insurance company receive the bill)? Your part of it will max be the "eigen bijdrage" of 385 Euro/year and all medical costs (except some exceptions) will be free for the rest of the year. Good to see that Charlie found your channel.
Yous two seem like a cute couple, gonna need to watch your channel.
So many commenters I see on Charlies channel, I also see on your channel and on Tracey and Travis their channel. And it is really not ay all surprising to me. You all make me smile, each time a new video is released. Lots of love to all of you from Utrecht
@@KeesBoons I am almost sure that they only have to pay for the ambulance thats about 400 euro
I am in the Netherlands, and my health insurance is good all over the world. when traveling to the US we always buy extra health insurance due to the insane costs. I love to be able to keep my house.
Thats not true, you always need a extra travel health insurance, to update your basic insurance. If you travel a lot you can choose a perma update, but always cost more.
@@WatZouJeHiervanVinden It only costs me €2,25 p/m extra to be insured for urgent medical care abroad, to receive compensation up to the actual costs in that country. And yes, worldwide. That same additional insurance also covers dental care after an accident and repatriation. If you can afford a trip outside of Europe, I don’t think €27,- to be covered for a whole year is something anyone will worry about.
@@Lars_erikyou still don’t have a clue, how many people are poor in the Netherlands that they even can’t spend 1euro each month so 27 a year could be take you to a homeless situation!
And you don’t still know or understand that many original Dutch people (but also not Origen) never can making use of our social system, only on paper our social system works but in real life not!
@@TheRtm68🤔 but, If you have Not the 27 Euro you will Not have the Money to travel.
@@TheRtm68, well... People that can't spend a euro a month huh? I'm sure that's not a exgageration. If they can't spend that, they're homeless no mattter what. That 27 euros won't take them in or out a situation like that.
Besides, people that are so poor won't travel a lot.
My dad was an ambulance paramedic and once in a while he'd take me as a kid to a toy store where I would choose stuffed animals for him. He'd put these in a big coulorful sack that he stored in the back of the ambulance. Whenever he had a call to a road traffic accident where there were kids involved he'd comforted the children by giving them one or more stuffed dolls. Usually they stopped crying quikly after they got the toys. He'd paid it from his own pocket. Nowadays every Dutch emergency vehicle has stuffed animals, like teddy bears, koala bears, rabbits, cats, you name it in the back. It's taxmoney well spent.
Paracetamol doesn't thin the blood they use Aspirin for this (Acetyl-Salycilic Acid).
I don't want to think about having to check whether I have enough money before I call 911.
Health care is not a privilege, but a human right!
American health care reminds me of the movie Total Recall where people had to pay for clean oxygen....no money no breathing.
The U.S.A. is a frightening country 🙁
The US was involved in the writing of the first UN deceleration of human rights, the chairperson was: Eleanor Roosevelt.
One of a few countries in the world, the US never adopted it
Wait What!!! - In the US is free air? - That's communismn 🙂
Keep in mind that many countries that people are ranting about of having "free healthcare", actually dont have "free healthcare"... In the Netherlands for example you are obligated by law to pay for health insurance. It's not free.
@@letitiadominica2588 it's never free, it's insurance or it's from taxes, but the in the countries people call it 'free' it's just: you basically never see a bill or at least not a high one. And pretty much everything is covered.
@@letitiadominica2588Not free, but I'm 65 years old and I pay about 34 euros a month and it covers everything.
No surprises here as this is the normal in most Countries, NZ, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, etc etc. No one would hesitate to call an Ambulance in Canada or worry about fees, invoices, or bills to pay later. Most Countries DO NOT use healthcare as a "for profit" and "dividends to shareholders" system. Police Fire and Medical are equally universal services provided and regulated by Government FOR THE PEOPLE. Human rights are much more important everywhere, Except the USA.
Yes, Americans like to celebrate July 4th but did they really win a better deal than Canadians enjoy?
So true. Their health care system literally kills people by making it hard - to some even impossible - to get in. And yet they brag about having "the best health care in the world". WHAT?!
tbh, they make plenty of profit here too, as an example the covid vaccine, we were told it was free but in the end the government gave pfizer a set amount of money per vaccine
And where does the money come from? Us as tax pyers, and how come coincidentally that those years pfizer stock went up shit tons?

If you call an ambulance in Belgium and you say the word 'hart attack', they immediately send 2 cars, 1 ambulance and 1 car from the MUG or Mobiele Urgentie Groep (Mobile Urgency Group) That MUG team consists of at least a specialist doctor and a nurse who holds a special title in intensive care and urgent medical assistance.
Belgium also has 2 Emergency Medical Groups per Helicopter or MUGH.
I know what they are talking about, because I had a hart attack too last year. THe pain, the paramedics, yhe nytroglycerin and all the other things are so familiar. But the main thing is: I am still here, so I can watch their channel! And yours too, Charlie! I also ended up with a stent in my hart and I'm doing fine now. Hahaha, hospital bills in the Netherlands? What bills, never seen one! Iy's called insurance.
Two of my favorite "expat" channels. Both Eric and Tammy, and Tracey and Travis are such nice and warm people. That said, another expat you might want to check out someday is "Dutch Americano" which is run by Ava, an American girl living in Utrecht.
buncharted is another great channel about an American couple who moved to the Netherlands
My little brother had the pleurisy 20 years ago. He got it on holiday in Spain. They said there he had a cold. He went home early because he wasn't feeling well. When he got home I heard him coughing in the night so I went to check on him. I immediately saw that it was not good and called the doctor. She was there within 10 minutes, in the middle of the night. The doctor was also shocked when she saw him and called an ambulance. They were also there within 10 minutes. He was examined in the hospital where it turned out that he had a neglected pleurisy. His lungs were aspirated from his back. In the end, he spent 30 days in the hospital on the verge of death. He is fully recovered. The costs for all together, doctor, ambulance, 30 days hospital were 0 euros. Everything was covered by insurance. Of course you pay your premium every month, at the time less than 100 euros a month, but then you don't have to worry if something happens. Greetings from the Netherlands. We're still waiting when you're coming, you seem like a nice guy.
In USA u have to sale your house !
@@GuyWets-zy5ytand you’re gonna be in dept, no doubt
Yes that was 20 years ago. Nowerdays you also have to sell your house.😢
No still free
Im dutch, i know, noting is free anymore in the Netherlands. It s even worden, if you doet have an insurance you dont get help
Our Ambulance staff is NOT EMT, but we are registrered and specialized nurses and have 8 years of education. We do make diagnosis and start treatment in the ambulance. That is the main difference with the USA, where they can't diagnoze or start treatment. It's the pick-up and go methode (USA)
He had no heartsurgery, but they made a small incision in his wrist (numbed) and put in a very small catheter in it with a stent in it (folded) they watch the x rays with contrast and see when they are at the spot where the artery is closed off and unfold the stent to open it up again. It's an 1 cm incision and it's awesome how fast they can do that.
Rottterdam Zuid, Maasstad ziekenhuis is in an area where most people are not Dutch (sorry, but it's true, I have lived there and it's a maroccon society) and they don't care about ambulances. This is very different in the rest of Holland, where we do not have these problems. People wait, all go to the side. So this is not a typical Dutch thing and I hate it.
Nice you do a reaction on them, they are such a lovely couple as well
They are!
14:07 Most Dutch health insurance indeed cover every place in the world EXCEPT the USA because of the insane costs. We can actually get coverage for the US as well if we're traveling there, but it comes in the form of an additional health insurance (and thus with additional cost) to make up for the US's astronomical health prices.
Dutch health insurance has a worldwide cover. BUT only pays the price that the treatment or medication would have cost in the Netherlands. Therefore you need an additional insurance or travel insurance if you go abroad.
Yes, it is like if you drive a Ferrari or something, you pay a lot for insurance. I will probably never own a Ferrari and I will probably never visit USA!
Yes I traveled in USA in 70ies till 80ies. Health insurance warned me Abt health care in USA. Covering was like in Belgium rates not USA
@@Phiyedough not true, insurance can be very cheap if your register your car the right way.
some people even register their luxury car in another country like germany so they don't have to pay as much road taxes and insurance.
Fyi, ambulances, police & firetrucks, here in The Netherlands when they put on their flashing lights & siren, have absolute priority on our roads. All other vehicules do have to yield and make way for them. If you don't and/or obstruct
That is indeed the Netherlands. We Dutch people complain that we have to pay a lot per month.
For example, I pay about 120 euros per month for all fixed costs. But on the other hand, hospital expenses are free. You don't pay any costs if you need an operation or anything else, it's free.
I sometimes hear that people in America die because they simply can't afford it. Fortunately, this is not the case in the Netherlands.
En uw eigen risico dan ? Das ff 385 euro. Gratis ziekenhuis bezoek bestaat niet
They were indeed talking about T & T go Dutch. They are friends Irl. They recently traveled together and did the one chip challenge.
You are so kind, missi!!❤
And they both handled it quite well. I mean, I have seen people that reacted way more "violently" (by lack of a better word)
Throughout Europe the emergency number is 112, here they ask which emergency service you need. You can call the emergency number for the police, fire brigade and ambulance. In the Netherlands, these 3 disciplines are located in 1 control room and work closely together to get the best and fastest help on site as quickly as possible.
same everywhere around the world, it's called an EMS dispatch center and has all the dispatchers in one place to communicate with each other.
Same in Belgium
On the title of ambulance personel they did go by the Name Ambulance Broeders ( Ambulance brothers a kind of reference to the old names used in the middle ages broeders and zusters Brothers and Sister . of the religiious orders that ran the hospitals back in the day ) But Dutch ambulance personel have tons of education ,
Ambulances in the Netherlands are staffed by an ambulance driver and an ambulance nurse. The nurse has followed various specialization training courses outside of regular training in the hospital and worked in hospital departments such as Intensive Care (general and/or cardiology), anesthesia or an emergency care department. All ambulance nurses in the Netherlands must be in possession of a diploma for ambulance nurse obtained at an institution accredited by the Care Training College (CZO). In 2016, the Academy of Ambulance Care (formerly the Stichting Owners Training Ambulance Assistants) is the only institution in the Netherlands accredited for this training. The ambulance drivers have also followed a training accredited by the CZO at the Academy of Ambulance Care. This training is focused on driving skills and technology and medically assisting actions. [3]
The ambulance work with national protocols (LPA), which stipulates which (be) actions can be applied to which diagnosis. [4] In the United States, for example, they also work with protocols, but a doctor must be consulted in the hospital before a medicine may be administered or perform an action. In the Netherlands, employees may carry out the protocol without consultation or with good reason to deviate without consulting a doctor. By means of the BIG Act, the government laid down that ambulance nurses in urgent circumstances are authorized to perform medical acts that are normally reserved for a doctor. An ambulance nurse is not a 'half doctor' but a nurse with specialized knowledge and authority in the field of acute necessary medical care.
Ambulance personnel are regularly trained. This happens nationwide: every five years all mandatory national and regional refresher courses must be attended, if not, one loses its authority. Both the driver and the nurse must also be positively completed a practical test.
I know exactly what he’s talking about. I had the same experience and I survived; it’s been 11 years ago now. I’m very thankful for Dutch healthcare services.
I’m on two pills now. Blood thinner and cholesterol; the rest is ok.
He’s only going to pay for his monthly healthcare insurance and his own risk of €385
385€ is only for te frist time in a year. If de cost gats higher in that year jou don t pay more. This is maximum.
Good to see this couple was helped on time by our Dutch paramedics. The ambulance has a time-frame of 15min. 20min. max to reach the victim. But they not always get there in time because of traffic etc.
Can be 10 min in 🇧🇪
Depends of trafic too
It's true. For the US you normally need extra travel insurance for medical cost. Our insurance pays usually up to 2 times of Dutch rates but the US is 3 times or more.
In the Netherlands we have the ‘Arbo wet ‘. It is a working condition law. When you live in an appartement without an elevator and you have to go in a ambulance the medicals are not allowed to carry you downstairs because that would or could be to heavy. So then the fire brigade comes and they will take you down through the window to the ambulance in a steel tub-shaped stretcher. It is called afhijsen. It happens around 10 times a day in Amsterdam.
If one calls 1-1-2 in the Netherlands, they will ask whether the firebrigade, ambulance, or police will be needed. Then they will dispatch the call to whatever service or services needed.
Normally when insured for medical costs in the NL, You are paying a maximum of 385Euro's a year on medical bills, besides your monthly insurance fee.
oh and how about all the medication they don't pay back anymore.. how about older people refused to get care .. how about care houses that became prisons .. STOP TELLING LIES
Correct, but not for ambulance and hospital. Only GP (huisarts)and medication.
They didn't go through to his heart straight away, they use a really small scope that they use to travel through large veins. Access is usually through your arm or groin. That way they can access pretty much every large artiry. And put in a stent as well to keep the vein opened up after the procedure.
Angiograms are done through arteries or arterioles, and stents are put in arteries. I am glad you’re not a cardiologist by trade, you’d have a lot in common with Harold Shipman.
I believe that you can actually get fined for not making room for emergency services here...
Also, the bills are at max €385 (probably, if they did not raise their "own risk"), if they did not have any healthcare services that year yet. Any prescribed medication or earlier hospital visits might make it cheaper. But besides your monthly health insurance (about €150/month), that is the maximum you will pay for any necessary healthcare service each year, when making use of healthcare services (dentists and psychologists not included btw). Kids under 18 are insured for practically everything for free too, if they're signed on with their parents' plan.
I had the same.. Heartproblems, huisartsenpost, ambulance.
What i mis in this video is the very detailled result from the ambulance on paper. I got a decent roll of paper with all statistics.
If you have a compulsory health Insurance in the Netherlands , you don t have to worry about the costs. After surgery I never received a bill at home, this bill was directly reimbursed by my health insurance company to the hospital. You don’t have to worry about the costs of the operation and further treatments, etc here.
Similar in Australia. 000 emergency will ask you if you need fire dept, police or ambulance.
You seem like an American we would appreciate to have in the EU.
Agreed, and those are rare these days. :D
I wanna correct the statement of them. Americans pay more for insurance in the netherlands. And dutch people ARE insured even in America if you have the right insurance. Personally got one of the most expensive once costing me 300€ per month (gov pays me 112€ for it to so 188€ technically which is basic for dutch people) and im insured no matter where i am or what happens to me.
these guys are great, i am seeing this channel very often, they have other great video's i love the latest, ....
Yes, they called T&T goDutch, and Elyse as well is an American expat in Rotterdam.
I totally agree with people not getting out of the way of emergency services.
Netherlands healthcare is, amazing. My wife needs prosthetic bones replaced in her ears as no sound gets to her eardrums. Cost will be 385 Euro I've had a break in the arm close to my shoulder. Constant ordered me a bone density scan. I've not been charged yet. I get 12 sessions of physio on my insurance. Brilliant. My wife was involved in an accident 4 broke ribs and collapsed lung. Operated on within the hour. All I can say is, amazing people and care here.
They only have to pay the "own risk" in the insurance of 385 euro's, for that money everything is covered, even when it would have been a hearttransplant, no matter what happens to you, it never costs more than 385 euro's, except some medication that is not covered, but than it is always just a few euro's. Thumbs up!
In Sweden it's illegal not to move out of the way of emergency vehicles, so whenever you hear/see the sirens, the road of vehicles split like Moses himself asked them to move. If you want drs to be able to save you and your family on time, put it into law 😊❤️
In my country every ambulance has special chair for stars with 3 wheels (they spin when going down the stairs) on each size (instead of 1) so it's not a problem at all.
I watch their videos too, and T&T. Great people and when they are together in a video it's super fun to watch. Their positivity is contagious. Nice reaction Charlie.
Charlie, a couple of years ago I fell with my bike and broke my tie bone. I will make it short, I was picked up by an ambulance, got a pain relief, X rays, operation to put in some titanium and woke up in an hospital bed. No question asked if I could effort it as we all are insured. After a week I was released. And that costed me less than 1000 Euro OOP. And that is what we consider NORMAL. So the USA is NOT the rule, but the exception.
Yeah, about the ambulance. It's not free in the Netherlands. I will use up your excess deductible (eigen risico). Which in my case was 535 euro's. (Per year)
But the second time, the same year, it is fully covered by the insurance.
It’s only €385
@@palantir135 hoeft niet, ligt eraan hoe hoog je je eigen risico neemt. hoe hoger je eigen risico, hoe lager je maandbedrag...

my parents had 5 children in the uk in the north of the uk, in the 70 and 80s.... it was very poor then... tbh it still is... neither had a job but where cared for by the state and any care needed was given to us... now us kids are older we all have jobs so gave back to help others.... its weird how america doesnt give help when needed?
People do, the states don't... That's the issue in the US: Beautiful people, highly damaged political system.
It's mandatory to have a health insurance in the Netherlands, you do have your own risk which is 385euro this year I believe. I think it's insane what the costs of healthcare is in the US
Several years ago my daughter was quoted USD 300 (pay up front) to have wax rinsed out of her ear in USA. I wonder what they charge now ? She waited till she was back in Australia and got it done for nothing (insurance). The normal fee at that time would have been AUD 30.
Every person gets help, in The Netherlands, even when you don’t have an insurance, for example many homeless people, drug addicted don’t have an insurance , but no doctor, no hospital shall refuse to help you.
the reason why we are not covered in the US is indeed because everyting is too expensive. we can have a over sea Travel insurance but it will still not cover everything. it even can be that when we have to go to the hospital in the US that we still can get a bill in thenetheralnds of a couple of thousands euros (depends on what you had ofc). But yes it got all to do with the price.
Sounds like they did the procedure we call dotteren in the Netherlands.
I'm a big fan of Soul to soul awesome how they figured out how the Netherlands can work the best for them !!
T and T go dutch als an awesome young duo!!
It's ridiculous how medical care runs in Amerika..
I think America is a third world country in só many ways!! you can be rich but there so much wrong there!
I know you're wanting to emigrate to the Netherlands? or Germany if it's up to you're wife?
I think you would lóve it here!! and if you're gonna lif weer I do *in the east of the Netherlands only 30 minute from Germany* you will get both worlds ánd all the good things from the Netherlands!
and medical care should be free or at least duabal for EVERYONE in Amerika !
The USA is the richest third world country...
Soul to Soul Travels,......Lovely Couple.👌
I don't get the 'I can't afford an ambulance.' You basically have to pay for having your life saved? That's messed up.
The problem with emergency vehicles is that you do hear them, but some times don't know from which direction they come from. It sometimes takes a while until you see the flashing lights.
Don't bother about direction. Soon as you hear an emergency vehicle, slow down and move to the side. If it turns out to be the other direction, you've still done your part to save someone's life. That's all you need to do.
US healthcare is very arbitrary in price, hence no insurance wants to cover the highly fluctuating cost. Think of the cost incurred in holding your own baby after birth some hospital charged $500 for. That would be considered outrageous and lead to claims of psychologic torture of patients. It's considered a profiteering racket.
So Charlie..... nothing to worry about visiting the Netherlands.
I’m dutch but did lots of jobs in the US.
Had some problems with my knee when working in Fort Lauderdale.
600 dollars just to get it looked at.
Nothing wrong👍
And it took about 5 hours; the onely thing that was impotant was; is his dutch insurance going to cover this🤬🤬🤬🤬
I found it a bit hard to follow what they were saying when they were both talking at once. I have wondered in USA if the urban sprawl has an effect on emergency response times. If you live 40 minutes drive from the city centre it will take the paramedics a while to reach you, even when breaking the speed limit. In Europe the cities are less spread out, so people in the suburbs are still not too far from the centre.
A lot of Americans don't like the idea of social health care because they think it makes the whole country socialist.
We have the same thing in the UK. An ambulance is viewed as one of the emergency services in the same way as police or fire brigade. You shouldn't have to make the decision to either go into debt or live.
The first priority of any government is the welfare of the people who are paying their wages.
insurance doesnt cover the US because we know its a rip-off.
you need extra travel insurance* to get covered there *conditions apply
Hey Charley, this sounds like a angiogram. The arteries and veins don't have pain receptors. I've had this procedure myself without sedation.
The problem is al those Lawyers in America. They sue for everything and for millions???? Glad I live in Holland Charlie Vest.
European based viewer here. No matter where I travel to, I always take out extra travel insurance that includes medical. Wherever I’ve lived, I’ve always had the most comprehensive health insurance possible. One of the reasons I chose for this is that it’s worth the cost.
I think living in the US would severely stress me out because of the cost of healthcare. In Europe, it’s affordable to be insured up to the gills and I don’t need to hesitate for even a fraction of a second to get myself or my daughter checked out. As I’m in my fifties now I need to be more careful.
It feels surreal to me to potentially risk my life by not contacting my GP, not going to the ER, or not calling an ambulance because it might ruin me financially. Not only is medical care affordable, it’s good and it’s comparatively fast.
Edit: the cost of year round full medical coverage for the US can be prohibitive for a EU resident. It’s however entirely possible and quite affordable to take out insurance for a single trip.
In Belgium when u call 112 for an ambulance , it costs 67.53( check on net)...but insurance pay a part...for 1 km or 100km...
That's called a katheteresatie in the Netherlands i had this 2 times it doesn't hurt ,earlier the did it in the groin and now in the wrist ,it's better i think .
Hello Charlie, nice channel man. I am from the Netherlands and if you have questions about the Netherlands i can help you get the answers.
He wont get a bill,he is insured for this..
Maybe 385 euro max for the pills depending on his insurance policy. But that will be it I guess.
@@maaiker2977 yep
Your voice is soothing!
That's sad the fact that if you think you are in danger you are scared to call for help in America.
The American health "care" system is a mess period, like it's the richest country in the world of the entirety of the human history and it can't afford healthcare for their people... ain't that messed up?
Ain't it like 35,000 dollars for having a child flat in the US?
My Grandfather was an ambulance driver during the troubles in Northern Ireland, he was ambushed by the IRA and shot while trying to save peoples lives.
Thank you for sharing!!
17:50 The bill will not exceed their 'eigen risico', so, a few hundred depending.
19:23 in some sense, that's a good thing, because that means he's gonna have a long life. 🙂
im english and id honestly expect if i where ill in europe id be taken care of...
but also id a european was ill in the uk they would get the same care....
the uk may be out of europe , but its all very similar values of healthcare...
I love soul to soul travel,and yes its T and T go Dutch
Yeah I had a ambulance ride the other year and they have those electrodes on you in no time. The hospital is very close so i had a very smooth short ride. When you see people in the U.S it's like it takes them so long before an ambulance shows up and before anyone is in the hospital, that will kill many people I'm sure. My issue was extreme anemia so I didn't have to worry about much and it was a bit of an adventure, the ride in a bed, being pushed around the hospital in a wheelchair with the nurse telling people how low my HB was.
Being pushed around in a bed is also the best ride, like if you are super wealthy forget the benz, get some hospital flooring and a bed and have yourself pushed around like that, haha
We have multiple hospitals in pretty close proximity in a small country (which helps), besides the nurses, doctors and ambulance personnel being genuinely really good at their job.
Sounds like fun lol
@@IWontBuy-RP Yeah as an adult you just don't get to be moved at any time. I found being driven onto a bed into surgery was a bit sci fi because the prep/recover room is very bright and white and you are looking up at all the lights as you are moved.
You gotta enjoy the small things in life. haha
Charlie, You seem to live in an okay-ish place in The States. I can hear birds.
They should let one do the talking instead of talking across each other., but good story.
if there is any American doctor or admin here tell me what it cost for my wife to be in hospital for 6 months fighting leukaemia with 12 months of aftercare free transport to hospital for the whole time,, I paid 9% of my income as did my wife so we all had coverage for healthcare, a small price to pay, sadly my wife didn't make it, but all I had to pay for was coffee or tea
I pay 156€ a mouth in Germany
Health insurance all included
Until now they never made that comparison video.
Crazy crossover episode
Charlie, did you make any progress into getting approved for a visa etc in the Netherlands? I know you were working on it, or at least planning on it.
Give us an update man
He won't be getting any bills for this.
I'm Dutch, but here in Germany it's the same.
@americanreacts maybe it is an idea to watch a documentairy about Dutch ambulance, firefighters en police
Good but overly complicated, compared to other European countries, plus whats with the 5 pm closing of the Huisarts.

Though our system is one of the best worldwide, being sick and in need of treatment is not free at charge. I have my own risk and I lose that Januari 1st each year. Being unable to work means Iam just over social welvare. Having a basic insurange is not suficiant at all, you need an extra insurance. Still not all medicine are free at cost.
You see what I mean. Iam not complaing I've got a roof above my head and enough to eat and dress propperly. Above all that they keep me alive. Whitout treatment I wouldn't make two more months, if I had lived in the states I would have been eaten by the worms by now.
Whats stopping you from moving too the netherlands?
But you don't have health care in USA, right?
Ah saw that... know the channel..
US is third world country concerning healthcare.

Dutch healthcare vs what????
American health care.
@@hondjevandebakker20 Is there such a thing? 🤔
Looks more like a pharmaceutical rip off scheme to me!!
I love your channel, because you're genuine, but I can't with that channel you're reacting to. They epitomize why there's growing resentment to US expats; they imported their racism from the US, they make NO effort to assimilate, and essentially make advertisements for abusing the Dutch system without contributing to it.
Understand: I want you to move here. You'd be an asset. But we have a severe housing crisis, and the +/- 8000 expats moving here every year on very favourable tax breaks, are prizing locals out of affordable housing, paying up to or over 2000/month for houses that by rights should be social housing for around 650. Meanwhile, 11k refugess are a 'problem' according to the gov't... See how that grates?
'promo sm' 💕
Get a haircut.
Please don't make vids like these anymore, its bad enough that the whole of Africa is dreaming of living here. We can't handle the influx of Americans who want to actually live in a 1st world country.
Stop de hair
Hey Charlie are you now living in a ditch ? Just a joke mate

I really don't know what is your point of view when it comes to "better" health care in The Netherlands vs. the US. I have experienced both the care quality in both countries and can definitely say the health care in the US is way better than in The Netherlands. When you go to the doctor in The Netherlands, you basically have to argue with them or beg to request for an X-ray, or other analysis, MRI for example. Most of the time they tell you to take a paracetamol and that it will go away. And if you manage to get a medical analysis, you have to wait months before you can get it done. Meanwhile you get sicker and sicker. I have experienced twice medical mistakes in The Netherlands and the doctors didn't even apologize. In the US the doctors could be held accountable. In The Netherlands is very hard to sue them as they cover each other's back. When you go to the doctor/hospital in The Netherlands the first thing they ask you for is an insurance, just like in the US. The health care system is not really as they portray it. During the corona period they let people die and only they ones who the doctors thought had a chance of surviving were being helped. In the US they were helping them no matter what. Also, the insurance companies don't want to pay 100% for your medicines, at least for the first 385 euros. In the US you only do a co-payment; &10, $20, and the insurance covers the rest. The health quality in The Netherlands is not as good as they want you to believe it, plus it is not free at all. You pay a premium every month for it.
