Ever wondered what you have to go through to buy a car in The Netherlands? What are the pros and cons of different car ownership models? How do you arrange a driver's license?  Moreover, what happens when you get sick in this country? Where do you have to go to and what are the steps before you get treated? What's covered in the insurance and what's not? How good is the Dutch healthcare system?  Parag Gupta will be sharing his experience with us and he's certainly not a stranger to Radio 4 Brainport. He's an American expat who's been enjoying life in The Netherlands so far. He did a piece on celebrating Christmas in NL last December.  ---   Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcasts-4-brainport/message
