Health care is >$800/month in Germany. I don't get why we get away with the notation that health care is free. It's not free, health insurance is simply compuls

- 2rsf 6y agoIn Sweden it's almost free. You pay as you go with ceilings of around 100$ for medicines and 100$ for doctor visits, kids are free.
- acituan 6y ago800$ is the nominal price. Real price is the fact that it is not tied to your employer, particularly your employers’ negotiation power with the insurance company. Which in turn increases your negotiation power as an employee. Not only for pay, but also other non-priced issues like quality coworkers, meaningful job etc.
