Wim Huppes, the author of The Dutch Institute, presents a type of literary sleuthing that catches the denizens of the state healthcare system in all their myopic, self-serving glory. Readers are led down the corridors that have been claimed by a power elite of ex-politicians, mediocre civil servants, and sycophants who package an impractical healthcare program in the brightest colors. They are inverse adepts, useless except to themselves, weaving bureaucratic red tape into a maze of feathered nests, while everything is about to go kaput any moment not only for the thousands in need of healthcare but also for taxpayers.
