Ohhh, I like this one. Commited to permanent memory.

True. I was too lazy to differentiate it and check what “Sozialabgaben” is in English.

German here. It’s all paid by my social contribution aside taxes. And when I go to the doctor I pay nothing, no matter what I have as long as its not a vanity issue.

If I want something unnecessary done I would have to pay myself. But injuries or illnesses are always fully covered.

Same for teeth, but there are bigger quality differences. Paying extra there for some actions taken is common.
