Pip: Ik kan het niet geloven! Een galblaasontsteking en ze gaan zeuren over een doorverwijsbrief!

Lukas: Ja Pip, je zit hier in Holland. Eerst papieren, daarna komt de hulp!

Pip: Waarom is dit? Holland is een rijk land. En dan doen ze dit.

Lukas: Al heel lang is er een strijd tussen medisch personeel (artsen, sociaal werkers, psychologen, psychiaters, etc.) en de verzekeringsmaatschappijen. Maar alleen maar om de poen natuurlijk.

Pip: Belachelijk!

Lukas: Ben ik met je eens, maar zo werkt het soms nu eenmaal.

Pip: Dus de verzekeringsmaatschappijen bepalen hoe iemand behandeld wordt?

Lukas: Yep!

----Formal English----

Pip: I can't believe it. A gallbladder infection and they start nagging you about a letter from your GP!

Lukas: Yes Pip, you're in Holland. Papers first and then comes the medical help!

Pip: Why is this? Holland is a rich country. And then they do things like this.

Lukas: For a long time already there has been a battle between medical personnel, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and so on and the insurance companies. All because of money of course.

Pip: Ridiculous!

Lukas: I agree, ridiculous, but that's the way things work sometimes.

Pip: So the insurance companies prescribe how somebody should be treated?

Lukas: Yep!
