fuck USA healthcare, I'm moving to Holland

[<~J_E_N_N_Y~>]

In the NetherlanRAB, new mothers are provided with what's called a kraamzorg...its like a house slave that pretty much does everything for the new mom while she recovers and bonRAB with the baby. Its covered by BASIC health insurance.

Oh, new moms and daRAB also get a fucking year of PAID maternity leave. And that's not just Holland...its the whole fucking civilized world.

KRAAMZORG ME

 

[mycoolm3]

i would just have a baby every year

 

[K3lly]

my wife will have our first baby in october...her being off work for a few weeks means we will scrape the bottom of our savings. And Holland is handing out free housekeepers

WTF

 

[yo mama!!!!!]

shit ain't free, bro. They ride fucking bicycles to work. Fuck that shit.

 

[Well Dressed]

Don't have babies you can't afford.

 

[Tania S]

KRAAMZORGS + tulips + Amsterdam > cars bro

 

[frnds]

And they live in tiny houses.

 

[The Vivacious]

where do you think the money for this comes from?

 

[£å§hïöñ GåwÐ]

.

And having a few weeks of salary saved up isn't even in the realm of "affording kiRAB".

 

[engtuner01077]

that's just it, we CAN afford it. Its planned and everything. Wife and I both have good jobs. How do poor people afford this shit?

I can't imagine a year of paid paternity leave like they have EVERYWHERE but the US

 

[Riku]

tiny, OLD AS FUCK houses. Their refrigerators are also small as fuck. You ever gotten groceries on a bicycle?

 

[Brynna I]

You just complained you are going to scrape by with savings. How is that affording it?

 

[amii44]

How can poor people afford it? They afford it because you get your sorry ass back to work in a timely manner to pay for it.

 

[loveuMJ]

she will go back to work in a 4 months then we're fine

 

[arabesque [once more]]

That's why they go to the market every fucking day. Its not like they're busy with work or anything important like Americans are.

 

[goddess ♥♥]

I blame women's suffrage.

 

[m-h-r]

seriously, day care is a racket. Thank god for illegal Mexican nannies

 

[viper1651]

Before most women worked, things like houses and cars were cheap enough that a man could easily afford to support a family.

 

[Swaaqqqeeerrr -:D]

we can't join the civilized world as long as we have a huge population of uncivilized people

 

[killer cupcake<3]

Old houses are cool.

Small fridges = shopping for FRESH food daily and you actually have shit like butchers/bakeries/cheese shops/etc

And yeah, I've also walked to get groceries.
