Uninsured against health insurance; origin, 2006-2010

This table shows the number of uninsured people against health costs on a reference date, broken down by origin, gender and age. With effect from 2006, the number of uninsured people has been defined as the number of people who are registered in the GBA (Municipal Personal Records Database) and who are obliged to take out insurance under the Health Insurance Act, but who have not taken out health insurance as referred to in that law. The limitation to the number of uninsured persons in the GBA means that uninsured persons among illegal immigrants, cross-border workers who live abroad and work in the Netherlands and Dutch nationals who live abroad (for example the so-called pensioners) are not taken into account. Data available: 2006-2010 Status of the figures: The figures in the table for 2006 up to and including 2009 are final figures. The figures for 2010 are provisional figures. Changes as of June 6, 2012: This table has been discontinued. When will new numbers come out? This table has been discontinued.
