I am neither, yet the test said I'm both. I guess I need to go to the embassy and start collecting free healthcare benefits for my diagnosis.

[iammjm]

"Free" is in fact about 300€/month. And this does NOT include dentist's appointments

[ExpertAdvisor01]

It's about 1.2k euro if you earn over 69k

[storus]

Yeah, over 1200EUR when freelancing. More expensive than in the US lol. "Free German Healthcare"

[ExpertAdvisor01]

It's the same for salaries employees. It's just the cost is split between employee and employer. So you still pay 1.2k from your real gross salary .

[croemer]

500/month for wage above 70k/year (and employer pays the same on top)

Dentist is included but not all procedures.

[sigmoid10]

Bro, even for an entire year that is less than a single ambulance ride in some parts of the US. Heck, you might pay $1000+ even with insurance coverage.

[storus]

It's $1400/month per person in Germany, just hidden from you. That's more than a monthly family plan in the US.

[sigmoid10]

Even a family plan insurance can bankrupt you in the US if you get admitted to the wrong place. Most Europeans don't realize how crazy expensive even the most basic care and meds are in the US.

[ExpertAdvisor01]

You have to wait 9 months for an appointment with a specialist for your diagnosis.

I've lived 30 years like this, I can wait 9 months. Especially if I don't have to waste 800 bucks per month on Adderall afterwards.
