Comment on U.S. Health Care Prices are the Elephant in the Roomparent

Comments

Actually, I'm in the "state" insurance system in germany and I pay 10 grand per year as well. That might or might not be comparable to what you pay since our incomes might or might not be comparable, but the figure itself seems fine. Given that any major injury can cost quite a bit more than 10k to treat, I'm totally fine with that.

Really? In the Netherlands health-insurance is around a hundred euros per month (1250 Euros per year). The annual copay is 350 Euros (total). And if you make less than about 20k Euros a year, you get most of your insurance covered by the government. Looks like we've got things sorted over here.

(and in the UK, where I live now, things are even easier...)
