It doesn't make sense to just talk about insurance premiums if you are existing within a system also funded by tax dollars.
Phrases like "you don't need to pay anything for the state hospitals" just means you are ignoring tax contributions, which isn't going to lead to any sort of reasonable comparison with other systems.
- memetcn 5y agoI'm not ignoring the tax contributions. You would pay 25-40% income tax for pension plus social security depending on your income. I'm super glad to pay that and willing to pay more if that means parents don't have to go "shopping for insulin at a supermarket" for their children. It's just insane and can't wrap my mind around it.
