Just to avoid any false impressions: healthcare is not free in Germany. You should always get travel health insurance. Having said that, it's pretty affordable. I pay about €80 a year for me and my wife for worldwide coverage.
That's basically free to Americans. We pay that per visit if we are lucky. Health insurance here exists to make a profit, not to help people out when they need it.
More death = More profit
It's only the charge for the extra travel insurance. The actual health care itself costs a lot more and depends on your income. Don't think it's just 80€ a month. I wish it were
Correct. That's just travel insurance. Regular health insurance is calculated as a percentage of your salary and it's anything but cheap. A lot better than in the US, though.
