Yes, This is the main difference. In Germany the education is free and medical insurance not something to worry about ( I have no idea about what deductables, deletables etc mean). This is where the difference lies.
- wirespot 6y agoAs simple rule of thumb an employer in the EU has to pay roughly double the net salary amount, so on top of the salary pocketed by the employee yet another similar amount goes to taxes. The education/insurance aren't "free", they're just managed better and give more direct benefits to the taxpayer.
- rusticpenn 6y agoIt depends. When I was a student, I did not have to spend a penny on medical biils, my wife got paid by the government for some courses (+ cost of rent etc) that would have costed us around 20K € at that time. Now that we are earning enough, I have no problem in paying back, so that others who need it will be also be able to achieve their dreams.
- sushshshsh 6y agoDeductable is a scary word but a simple concept, it represents the amount of money you must pay before your insurance begins to pay bills for you :)
- rusticpenn 6y agoThat is scary. When my child had to stay in the hospital for a month, the main costs for me were the parking tickets.
