I live in Germany and I just had hernia surgery. The entire procedure including appointments leading up to surgery a couple weeks ahead of time and post-op appointments over a couple weeks after came up to 905€, TOTAL... my copay was 45€. And I have the expensive private insurance that gives me access to single person hospital rooms and my procedure is done by the hospital chief surgeon

Oh, look at fancy angeben over here, gloating about his functional healthcare system that doesn't bring his country to it's knees, but instead strengthens it. Next your going to tell us that the education system is ausgezeichnet and doesn't leave most students financially crippled. The nerve of some people. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go study up on which wealthy hyper-geriatric politician is going to represent my interests!

PS: I totally didn't have to google translation for those words because of my superior American education!
