Health insurance defaulters in the Netherlands 2018-2022, by age
In 2022, the majority of the health insurance defaulters in the Netherlands were between 30 and 35 years old. 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.
