Reaction To Dutch Systems That Might Just Be The Best

The after birth care is having a person in your house for 8 hours a day, taking care of everything during a week or 10 days. Cooking, laundry, taking care of baby, cleaning the house, what ever needed.

As a greenhousebuilder who build these all around the world we are now take over the US and Japan with a new kind of greenhouse so i say goodbye to my homecountry over 4 weeks for a couple of years.

Kraamzorg, as a freshly minted parent in the Netherlands, was an amazing support. It’s as if a whole community is standing by making sure your little one, the most precious thing, is getting everything it needed. I wasn’t aware this service existed untill I became a parent myself. I felt heard and seen, without having to ask for it.

A former colleage of mine wanted to emigrate to a warmer country (for example the southern part of the US) for his health (because of stomach problems that seem to disappear in a warmer climate) and in the year they wanted to go they got a son born with down syndrome. They cancelled their plans, because there’s no better place in the whole wide world than the Netherlands (educationwise, healthcare and overall chances in their son’s life). I myself have health problems and I probably wouldn’t be alive if I lived in another country than the Netherlands. So yes, the healthcare is very good.

The Dutch have a good reason to be concerned about climate change. If the sea level rises enough we will drown. 😉

I Find myself very lucky to be born and living in the Netherlands. Of course it is not perfect for everyone all times but the system is finetuned all along so that everyone can and should benefit. I feel we have a great combination of capitalism and socialism over here. The population is very critical and involved in how things are running. An often heard joke is that the Netherlands consist of almost 18 million prime ministers. Partly true and that mutual commitment brings a great feeling of involvement. It is a real society.

You said: "Everything is free". Only the sunlight and the air are (still) free.

Casey made very nice videos, like this one, and some years ago turned silent. Nice to "see" her again via this route.

Food is so important. I’m proud we feed the world. Now that’s I’m proud of.

Wat i see lately in articles is that the healthcare is getting worse and worse in the UK People waiting for a day in the emergency room. Lake of doctors and nurses etc. the NHS is crumbling.

Dutch farming is indeed shocking. When the weight of farmed animals (cattle, pigs, chickens, goats) is divided by the average weight of a Dutch person, the total equivalent population of the Netherlands is about 78 million. Not 17,671,125. That's the real shocker.

everyone needs a mandatory insurance, wich will set you back 140 ish a month and an own risk of 385 euro. thats the base insurance, on top of that you can add premium packages for dental etc. If you low income teh goverment pays like up to 100 euro per month max going down as your income goes up. own risk is teh amoutn you pay for healtcare cost other then you house docter. If you do not pay you will be forced to pay if you have not payed for like 6 months you will be forced to pay the goveerment then you pay more with a fine on top. only if you have payed the open amount you can apply for a regular insurance again

We pay (me&wife&3y old) €390 (thats basic ensurence plus an addon ensurence were more is covered) excluding the 'own risk' fee of €75 a month

Hello reason why in the UK they are not copying what we do is because of the ‘Not invented here’ mentality in the UK. Love the brits though forever one of our liberators ❤

11:30 The Netherlands has great farming techniques yes. We invented ways to harvest wheat twice a year instead of one time for example. But we also are the biggest producer of GMO's even tho GMO's are not sold in The Netherlands as they are forbidden. It's all for export.

Love her Aussie accent as well. Cant do it. They do an ooh or someting when saying an R.

Funnily I watch you both sepereratly

I SOOOO love your accent. I have Scottish friends from Aberdeen. They dont sound like you at all......

Yeah, let's not pretend our government did the environment thing voluntary . Environmental activists had to sue the government to live up to the Paris agreement. So they really didn't have a choice after the Court ruled in favour of the activists.

We have water too merkt haha
