Comment on The Think Tank Behind Project 2025 Just Published Trump's Iran War Plan
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 week agoI’m an American immigrant in Germany. What I didn’t realize is how fucking cheap everything about healthcare is, not just insurance, but the various other costs. I take (generic) vyvanse, which cost me about a hundred bucks a month, in addition to monthly doctors visits and urine tests, totaling about $200-300 (it was still around $90 a month after hitting the deductible). In Germany, I go to a doctor every other month for free, don’t have to do any testing, and the prescription costs ~16€/month.

Germans have healthcare insurance?
Everything is free here in Scotland, including prescriptions.

Germans have insurance and pay for prescriptions, but it’s not a huge amount (from my perspective, I hear a lot of people complaining about how expensive insurance is). However, insurance isn’t tied to your job and afaik, the government pays for your insurance if you lose your job (and the less you earn, the less it costs).
