Practice question Gezondheidszorg (Healthcare)
Everyone in the Netherlands is required to take out health insurance.
In Dutch: Iedereen in Nederland is verplicht een zorgverzekering af te sluiten.
Choices
- True (Waar)Correct answer
- False (Niet waar)
Explanation
Correct answer: True
Yes, this is mandatory for everyone who lives or works in the Netherlands. You must take out a health insurance within 4 months. If you do not, you get a letter from the CAK and three months to do it. After that a fine follows. After two fines, the CAK takes out an insurance for you and withholds 12 months of premium from your income. You do not pay premium afterwards for the time you were not insured, but you pay your own care costs.
Why the other choices are wrong
- False: You might think health insurance is voluntary, but that is not true. Almost everyone who lives or works in the Netherlands must have it.
