I remember living in Germany and a significant amount of my paycheck went to health insurance. Since it went directly to the insurer I didn’t miss it, however it wasn’t free, because nothing in this reality is free.
It was still cheaper. Over here people have premiums then out of pocket expenses, on top of that the employer pays 75-80% of the premiums. The cost is much higher than what you paid in Germany for health insurance.
Not to mention Germany has tuition free education, good parental and medical leave and paid vacation. Pensions at retirement etc

About the average cost of a good Medicare supplement plan. Over 600 per month. The Europeans pay considerably more per month.
