US Health care costs are wildly expensive but describing healthcare in Europe as "free" seems terribly misleading.

- amaccuish 8y agowell it is in the UK :) (yes everyone knows tax pays for it, spreading the burdon etc.)
- carlmr 8y agoThat's the exception though. I pay almost 700€ a month in Germany and my employer pays a part, too. It's actually quite expensive, except if you're poor. EDIT: Not sure why I got downvoted for stating facts. European health care is not free. And the defense budget is separate. They have nothing to do with each other.
- germanier 8y agoPublic health insurance premiums in Germany are capped at slightly above 700€, including the part the employer pays (Beitragsbemessungsgrenze is the relevant keyword here).
