Public healthcare? You mean the free healthcare for 1000EUR that single German freelancers have to pay monthly? For $1k you can get a US insurance for the whole family!
- rbanffy 3y agoIt’s tax funded, so you have a point. Still, it covers everyone so you never see anyone doing gofundmes just to stay alive.
- treprinum 3y agoWell, maybe try not to pay your health insurance as a freelancer and the insurance company promptly disowns you and you are at the same spot as uninsured US folks immediately. In Germany. Just because fees are hidden from you doesn't mean they aren't there and a failure to pay them results in similar consequences to US.
- rbanffy 3y agoI wouldn't know, but I live in Ireland anyway, and while we have a two-tier system, we pay insurance only for the better hotel services in hospitals - things such as single-patient apartments.
