      Any idea why your experience and /u/Addlemus ' seem so different? The premium benefits?

      The doctor appointment time could be difference in region or just an constantly overrun doctor.

      Glasses arent covered, yes, but you can deduct them from tax because you need them.

      The ADHD i have no idea what he is on about. Neither me nore my parents had to pay for the therapie sessions or psychiatric stay. It could be he went to privat therapist that only takes selfpaying patients (part of the 2 class system of health care in germany. It sucks hard) not many psychiatrists take "Kassenpatienten".

      Didnt read their full comment

        Brazil

        An USian journalist recently described his health care treatment in Brazil:
        https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/29/brazil-health-care-sus-hospitals/

        I believe this is a good description of the public health care here.
        I disagree with his statement on workers' strike.
        He didn't mention that Bolsonaro and Temer (last 2 presidents) reduced spending in public health care which probably impacted the hospital this journalist got taken care.

          When you don't have health insurance, I'd assume? Because the tax system is basically the UK health insurance so I'm not sure if it's a fair comparison in that case (the amount you pay through taxes or to a private insurance company might be very different though, but then that'd imo be the number to compare)

          Oh, that's with insurance. How much you have to pay out of that amount is determined by what your insurance plan covers.

              Well maybe stereotypes exist for a reason, quitting being one is a quicker way to cut down bigotry than stopping people from noticing things,

              (About Jews)

              You should see what happens when you try force the people of an natural individualistic bend into community organization. Undermining, diversion and later, violence.

              “lack of investigation” is fairly normal when the person is dead. Anyways, it’s really, really, really obvious the Secret Service decided to let the kid take his shot before they killed him.

              l'll just let that speak for itself.

                It was in context about a sect of Jews literally being the stereotype, genius. I know context is hard, but then, you're so stunned you think the secret service didn't. There was video, ffs.
