- 5. The United States health care program has been mainly private insurance through an employer or self-purchased and also segregated coverage for those age 65 and over (Medicare) and those with qualifying low income (Medicaid). These programs left approximately 16% of the U.S. population uninsured. In 2010 the Affordable Care Act was signed into law with phased implementation over a series of years. Currently we are experiencing the implementation of the law that expands coverage to a greater percentage of the U.S. population and increases mandated preventative coverage.

- 6. { Statutory health insurance Video: Dutch Health Care System Netherlands
- 7. Within the last decade the Netherlands transitioned to a statutory health insurance system based on government mandates and regulations that requires coverage for all residents, documented workers and foreign students. Leaving approximately 2,000 undocumented workers and visitors without coverage. Although, voluntary and private funds are available to cover that small population. The government intentionally left the acquisition and administration of insurance to the private sector with the expectation that competition among the insurers would result in a better outcome for the individual.

- 15. Conclusion { What are the major differences?
- 16. The governments of U.S. and the Netherlands spend on health is very similar as a percentage of total government expenditure, 19.8% and 20.6% respectively. There is significant disparity in the amount of total expenditure on health per capita; the United States is spending nearly 65% more per capita and falls behind on life expectancy for both males and females to the Netherlands. Standard health care in the Netherlands is broader-based coverage that goes beyond the preventative coverage under the U.S. Affordable Care Act. The Netherlands health care includes items such as all visits beyond preventative to general practitioners, specialists, obstetricians and midwives, dental for individuals 18 and younger, and more. Individual out-of-pocket expenditures as a percentage of private health expenditures is higher in the Netherlands at 35.5% where the U.S. is at 20.9% (2011 data). Conclusion
