The Dutch Government have published a webpage that details the requirements for Expats with regard to Health Insurance when living in the Netherlands; this link will take you straight to it.
Hope this helps.

Hi again.
It's changed since I did it, but basically, if you have a visa to come and live/work in the Netherlands, then it's one of the permanent categories and you need to apply for Health Insurance once you have your BSN; if you come on a short-term tourist visa, then you have to have insurance from elsewhere (i.e. your home country). Once you have lived in the Netherlands for 5 years, you can apply for permanent residence, basically indicating that you want to remain in the Netherlands for the long-term (I'm tempted to say forever. but that sounds a bit OTT).
Glad you liked the link; I had nothing to do with it, but it really is (IMO) quite excellent, even if they didn't manage to spell Switzerland properly. 
Hope this helps.

@Cynic less about having something to do about it and more about your efforts in keeping the community informed. I know its all on your free time so that's what i am appreciating.
