Interesting you should site the Netherlands health care system. It is the only one I can speak about other than the US the Canadian. My best friends are Dutch and when one of their mothers became ill, she was refused (in Holland) the care she needed because of her age. In Holland they were not allowed to pay for service. My friends took her to Germany for treatment but by the time she receive care in Germany it was too late and she died.

That’s an ugly story. I have a hard time believing that you are not allowed to simply buy services in the Netherlands...but I am German and don’t know the NL system that well. When did the story with your friend’s mother happen?
