REGENERA - Health - The Hague: Care insurance Privatization [EN] (4/1/06)
Within the city of The Hague, people who have no health insurance, are relegated to a specific day-care centre, where they may be treated, if their problem is urgent. Thus, people with heart problems are advised to return to their country of origin, whereas prople with a heart attack may expect to be hospitalized. Medical staff do not agree. They insist to remain responsible for decisions of this kind. Non-medical staff of the centre said that they will nevertheless apply this unheard-of policy.
