Healthcare costs in Holland are through the roof! There is no incentive to make healthcare cheaper, because there is no competition. Competition can only exist in a free market.
| Rank | Country | Total health expenditure per capita PPP Int.$ | Total health expenditure % of GDP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  United States | 7,164 | 15.2 |
| 2 |  Monaco | 5,996 | 3.6 |
| 3 |  Luxembourg | 5,750 | 6.8 |
| 4 |  Norway | 5,207 | 8.5 |

| 6 |  Netherlands | 4,283 | 9.9 |
The Netherlands spends less per capita, and less per GDP on healthcare than the US does (these are 2008 figures - so pre-Obamacare figures).
It also has a higher life-expectancy, lower infant mortality and a higher general approval rating of their healthcare system than the US.
So I don't buy your argument that making the Netherlands have healthcare like the US did in 2008 would be cheaper or better.
