Number payment arrears Dutch Health Insurance Act in the Netherlands 2019, by age
Most payment arrears in 2019 for the mandatory health insurance in the Netherlands were found among people aged 30 to 35 years. The Dutch health insurance system as it is now was introduced in 2006 and combines elements of both public as well as private insurance. It is mandatory to have at least a basic health insurance (in Dutch: basisverzekering) when you work in the Netherlands, because healthcare is funded through taxation of income.
