Dutch person here; I had no idea what a European Health Insurance Card is. All I have is a credit-card sized piece of plastic that mentions my customer number at OHRA, the insurance company where I have my health insurance. The piece of plastic has a black bar where the magstripe is located, but I'd be very surprised if it's a magstripe. It's just inked to look similar to one. (Never understood why they do that) I've looked on the interwebs what a European Health Insurance Card is, and yes, many Dutch people can request one free of charge. But given that I have never heard of it before, I don't think many people do. And there are insurance companies that don't give them out at all. And even if you got one, the Dutch information about the card says its validity period depends on your insurance company as well, ranging from just the duration of your stay abroad up to maximally one year. This does not sound like an obvious target for Dutch people who want a government-issued certificate. My 2 cents, Peter. PS: Yes, I do travel abroad. But I simply depend on my travel insurance and a "medication passport", which is a document that includes all the standardized names of medication I have to take, in case I lose them.
