It's actually quite expensive, except if you're poor.
EDIT: Not sure why I got downvoted for stating facts. European health care is not free. And the defense budget is separate. They have nothing to do with each other.
Public health insurance premiums in Germany are capped at slightly above 700€, including the part the employer pays (Beitragsbemessungsgrenze is the relevant keyword here).
