>The real problem is that consumers don't care about the prices Forgive my perhaps being out of touch, but isn't the primary complaint that healthcare can be _ruinously expensive_ and unaccountable?

You're putting a lot of strange qualifications on whether you consider a company to be a capitalist entity. Why must it be publicly traded? Why must "rich owners" profit to the optimum extent (and how do you quantify that)? I

Presumably they don't mean to scatter freshly shattered glass along swimming beaches. There's a lot of ocean where people aren't walking.

That's not 100% true. Last year they almost went on strike by responding only to emergency calls. https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2018/09/minister-tries-to-have...

I was a bit underwhelmed by how moderately off-putting it was...I was led to believe it's the worst thing ever. It certainly smelled pretty awful, but there wasn't a wretch-inducing taste. The icy Brennivín definitely helped. Not

You can get permanent residence after 5 years in the Netherlands too, and the language level required is pretty basic. It's not very hard to pass the required language tests within 5+ years. The limit to one nationality is maddening, h

Because very often English is the language of business, and the highly-skilled migrant visa makes no demands of you to learn Dutch. Practically speaking, Netherlands is (enough of) an English speaking place.

Highly-skilled migrant. Then, after that, permanent resident also renewable every 5 years.

Oh really? I found it relatively straight forward to study, live, and work in the Netherlands. 5 year visa, too.
