In the Netherlands we have a great complex system which cost €5800/pp per year (14% GNP), has great cure (1st line and hospitals) and decent long term care. In Finland they spend €3800/pp/py (8% GNP) with great cure and so so care and in Estonia they have a smooth digitale organised efficient system which cost <€1000/pp/py of 6.6% of GNP but with very little care.
How is the digital society with a single user login which seems to be secure and used everywhere organised?
