It has been less than a week since I purchased my plane tickets to Europe for the month of May. Among all of Europe, my roommates and my countries of interest include Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. I think it behooves me to read up on the countries to have a general and at least minute comprehension on what to expect from these historic landmarks. I will be sure to post blurbs about interesting information related to my study of independence as I go along.
For example: Belgium requires that ever resident must register in the health insurance system. Contribution amounts depend on various factors. You will typically have to pay 50 euros a year for health care coverage, and around 3.55 % of your salary will go to health insurance (according to www.svb.nlwww.svb.nl). When visiting a doctor you have to pay upfront for a doctors visit and part of it will be reimbursed by insurance later. You do not have to pay anything for hospitalization under a years time.
To be continued...
