@SSDavyS Great news, Glad it worked for you. To reiterate, my point is not to say it is worse or best, just point people that the numbers are a bit more complex than most people think (I live in Brazil a country devastated by the mentality that everythign the government pays is for free... :( )

@SSDavyS Not exactly it is government subsidy so that money also comes from your taxes. Not saying it is a problem, just saying that the real cost is not exactly that. It is easy to forget that roughly 40% of economy in Belgium goes to the government. Effectively the government spends 4,960 USD per year with each citizen in healthcare (Not very up to date data here but should not be far off still) . Those 5K you also spend, because the government did not took it from thin air. The advantage of their system is that since everybody is always paying bit by bit there is no huge spike of cost for anyone when a problem happens.
