> homeopathics Ah the good 1000€ per kilo magic sugar... I can't understand how healthcare can cover that!

  Healthcare does not. Some insurances do, but you can opt to switch do another.

    Not "some". Out of 110 existing "statutory health insurance companies" 84 cover Homeopathy [1][2]. They aren't required to do so, but are by law explicitly allowed to cover it [3], which is weird enough. And as the numbers suggest, most of them happily do because it attracts many Germans, especially the well-offs.
