National Health Authorities are currently investigating whether only hospital to offer full transgender specific and related health care is abusing its monopoly position in negotiations against health insurance companies.
VUmc (hospital) gets about 3 million each year from health insurance companies which they claim is not enough and they require 10 million. Since negotiations failed the VUmc has stopped taking in new patients. (the 2000 patients which already were under care are still being helped though.)
Government and ministers claim the hospitals and health insurance companies need to reach a deal on their own.
Meanwhile...people who need transgender specific care and weren't yet registered at the hospital...need to basically just find other alternatives...apparently
