Yes, obviously anytime you get something for free that's a convenience. Someone has to pay for that though and that person is not experiencing freedom.

I don't know much about the German healthcare system but it's quite possible that you also don't have as many choices for healthcare as in the US due to increased governmental regulation.

I'd also add that healthcare is one of the least free aspects of US culture especially post-ACA. We are now mandated to have insurance, even if we don't want it.

You have strictly more choices. In the USA, chances are you cant afford healthcare and have none.

What if you can afford healthcare? Not everyone is poor. I suspect there is a great choice to be had in the US.

We shouldnt judge a healthcare system by how well it works for some lucky people.

You can keep moving the goal posts but the fact is there is a lot of choice in the US. Not everyone can afford all choices but that’s an entirely different conversation.

For those who can afford it, sure. That neither much of an achievement nor very useful.
