Health & care
Part II — life in the Netherlands
What it shows
How long and how healthily people live, and whether the system prevents preventable deaths. Life expectancy from 1950, healthy life expectancy from 1981 — the two cleanest 40-year anchors in Part II.
What it cannot prove
The healthcare system's isolated contribution vs income, lifestyle and pharmaceuticals. Waiting times cannot answer "worse than 20 years ago" (mandatory data only since 2021; GGZ gap until ~2027).
