Healthcare is anything but free. You don't pay for going to the doctor/hospital, but monthly you give a good chunk of your salary to the insurance (I pay almost 1000€ every month for the health &amp; disability mandatory insurance, half of it is paid by the company (also mandatory for the companies to pay it)). The good part is that it depends on your salary as a % (this is not a complain about the system, just wanted to stress that it isn't free)

Yes of course. The "free" meaning funded usually through much higher taxes. 1000 euro a month for just insurance is a lot, you must make a very good salary.

What i meant was, if I present with a cough, and the doctor tells in 5 minutes to take some tylenol, they will find a way to charge 500$ somehow.
