German here. Me and my employer pay 12 (together) for healthcare. I have no clue where the idea of „free“ healthcare came from, but it’s far from free. 20% of your wages is the general rule for healthcare here. On paper, my employer pays me 72k per year. I net 36k of this after taxes and social insurances are paid.
