It's interesting. Looking at total healthcare spending from 1990 to 2005, Netherlands and Sweden were about the same per capita. From 2005 Netherlands costs shot up, overtaking countries like France, Germany, Iceland etc.
Sweden didn't shoot up until 2010.
The Netherlands has spent a lot on healthcare, especially after 2006 - not as much as Norway (which I suspect has higher costs due to sparsely populated areas), Switzerland, and Luxemburg, but more than the rest of Europe. If you pay more, you get more.
Are you sure the benefits of your hybrid system aren't because you increased health spending by over 50% (about 7% pa) from 2004 to 2010, where Sweden only increased by about 30% (about 4% pa)?
