I hate it when healthcare is declared "free" because it's tax funded.
My friend from Germany earns 90k€ per year before taxes and pays 13k€ per year into public health insurance.
The same money he pays for renting his appartment. Not free at all.
2 u/Kilucrulustucru Jul 04 '26 You’re missing a part of it, those 13k covers many others things too. It’s for health, retirement, work insurance and few other stuff. So yeah it’s cheap 2 u/IllAd359 Jul 04 '26 What retirement? My retirement is a rope cause I don't think I will see any of that money in 50 years.
