I read a year ago that the Netherlands were about to pass big reforms to shrink the welfare state. Did that ever happen?

- huskyr 13y agoMore or less. One thing that is happening in the near future is moving the responsibilities for long-term care from the national government to local municipalities, that will probably get less money for it as well.
