Free is 19% VAT tax compared to my 5% and Germany having a lower average salary for most jobs. You pay for healthcare via your taxes and standard of living. It’s only truly free for the people loafing around on welfare. But then again in the US poor people get Medicare (free insurance) as do retired people (Medicaid). One interesting thing I have observed as an American who lived and worked in the US, Australia, UK and Hong Kong. In the US, Australia and Hong Kong, although they have “free or mostly free” healthcare, people with good jobs get private health insurance just like in the US. That explains a lot. Probably because my wife’s friend in Canada had to wait 90 days for an MRI when she found a lump in her breast - the wait was due to rationing of health care and available resources. Meanwhile with private insurance paid for by my employer, my wife got an MRI in 3 days. Let’s not even get into the differences in survival rate for some cancers. Prostate for example has a 10 year 98.4% survival rate in the US…and 78% in the UK and 90% in Germany.
This is not a joke. The US is clearing out its old ppl bc nobody will call an ambulance. If you don't have anyone to drive you, or they won't do it, or you can't drive yourself, 💀👻

Its pretty crazy how a ride to the hospital can realistically cost $15,000.00...Hospital prices are beyond absurd here...I was once charged $720.00 for an ace bandage, the exact brand and size sold for $2.75 at Walgreens lol! And they complain that people often dont pay their hospital bills....
@@stephenaviaspace5056 I make $17.50 an hour and that puts me SLIGHTLY above the threshold for free health insurance. Bear in mind, I'm still below the poverty line and have to live with my 64 year old father for either of us to be able to afford basic expenses. Meanwhile, I'm going to school to be a history professor and work no less than 40 hours per week.
In the US it’s thousands of dollars, for the ambulance ride alone, out of pocket… Edit: and to those of you saying “but insurance”, do you really think that paying for insurance that freely chooses whether or not to pay for something that saves your life is normal?
I feel like they should only charges those that call it without it being a emergency, i have seen some wild calls where I wonder why did they need the ambulance, it’s the persons choice but still I don’t get why people pay that amount for scraps and bruises at times
Fun fact around 24 percent of our tax goes to Healthcare meaning we have to pay tax for Healthcare, tax and fees for insurance, and tax for getting the Healthcare
It‘s a bit more complicated than that. It also depends how much you earn yearly and why you were in the hospital in the first place. For reference, an ambulance ride and 4 days in ICU cost me about 25€ total when I was a student with no income. When my mom needed an ambulance ride, surgery and stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks, she had to pay a similar amount because she is a low income retiree. If you call the ambulance for stupid reasons, they make you pay though.
I could spend a week in the hospital with 3 surgeries in Canada and it wouldn't cost me a cent. The only things that cost money are TV, Phone, fancier casts, crutches, and the ambulance ride as well as parking
@@coastaku1954Same in the Netherlands, although ambulance rides are free if they’re deemed necessary. (If you don’t have another mode of transport or if it’s urgent for example). Stupid thing is that there’s no set definition of ‘urgent.’ This means that one insurance company will cover ambulance rides for broken arms, because well, you can’t drive with a broken arm, while the other won’t because a broken arm isn’t deemed life threatening/urgent. You’ll never get billed if someone else calls an ambulance for you tho, since you can’t be held accountable for someone else’s “bad decisions” if the ambulance ride were to be deemed unnecessary. That’s how my friend got a free ambulance ride home when he was drunk, while usually ambulance rides related to intoxication are billed.
To clarify 10€ is the cost if you order a "Krankentransport" not an emergency. Its like an actual legal ambulance taxi if the person has an illness, no chance to take a normal taxi for various reasons, needs to go to the hospital and its not an emergency. That can cost from 10-20€ if it isnt already covered by your insurance or ordered by your doctor. Actuall emergencys are free. And 10€ a day is not true. I dont know where this comes from but the closest i could find is if your husband stays with you in the hospital after birth its 10€ a day without food. Never heard anyone actually pay for staying at a hospital. Thats all in insurance. Ps that comes from austria, we are very similar in that regard so i highly doubt its different in germany. At least i never heard about a day fee for a hospital bed, if its not a special request like single room or whatnot
It's absolutely eye-boggling in Welsh! 😁 (Yet despite the _really_ awkward arrangement of consonants and one token vowel, the pronounciation is actually the same as the word in English! 🙃)
If you’re abroad, you generally have yo pay horrendous sums too (since without insurance the costs would also be in the thousands), if you don’t have travel insurance. So it makes sense from the perspective of being a tourist.
My dads helicopter ride cost $60,000 for 30 minutes in the air! While the heroic paramedic who saved his life was paid no more than a Walmart checkout employee... 😰 What an angel Joshua was!
Have you never heard of it because you haven't been in hospital or in an ambulance yet (as an adult) - or have you not heard of it *although* you have been in a German hospital (and/or Rettungswagen) as an adult person? That's an important question in order to better understand the context of your question - because it's surely easy to not have heard about it if it has never been relevant for you.
They take your house & other assets. I worked in missions as a volunteer and we had lots of residents, especially older ladies, who were there bc they or their husbands' had been in nursing homes and lost everything bc those are upward of 5k plus everything else the give you or do for you. So the old ladies finally get their SS and then a shelter will let them in for awhile. They don't take ppl w zero income. Or they didn't. I hear the govt is filling the shelters and low income housing w the illegals coming across the border now. Ppl are angry bc Americans are living in cars or on the streets bc there is no place for them to shelter. We want to know if there was any place for ppl to shelter, why wasn't it given to Americans. We've had serious homelessness since the 80s.
Yes, for the first episode. Next time, if you live, you live in your car, if you still have one, and are well enough to drive to hide somewhere. Or you are forevermore a street person.😢

It is free. You only have to pay for Krankentransport, which is something else than an ambulance. So yes, if you are an emergency, you dont have to pay anything.
Becoming homeless forever or dying from lack of medical care is barbaric as well. You've missed telling them how you will live crippled AND homeless bc you recently lost your job. You may have some money but wo an income due to unemployment, they may let you sit in emergency till you starve. They don't usually admit anyone who appears to be unable to pay and doesn't have someone to pay for them. I've worked w ppl whose lives were ruined bc they were refused care, especially professionals. Whereas, if they had received treatment, they could have become well, gone back to work, and paid their bill.🤷♀️
I crashed by bike when I was 9 riding down the Baytown bridge Near Houston with my day, I got horrible road rash on my knees that took three months to heal my two from the teeth were broken and they got me an ambulance and a visit to the emergency room in total I think that 8 hour ordeal was around $4500, luckily my father had good insurance and I was just worried about my two front teeth as they were my permanent teeth. The emt was a hockey player and when I was crying about my teeth he showed me he was missing his as well. Good people.
In America the prices are highly distorted because of government mandates. So the people who actually have insurance or cash-pay end up paying 2x or 3x what things really cost because doctors and hospitals have to recoup losses from government-mandates. The exceptions are discretionary medicine such as LASIK eye surgery, plastic surgery, orthodontists - because those are basically cash-pay, so those prices have been very stable and reasonable since the 1980s. Boob job 1981 $5,000. Boob job 2023 $5,000. LASIK 1997 $3000. LASIK 2023 $2000. Orthodontist 1986 $3,500. Orthodontist 2023 $3,500. And pharmaceutical companies pay democrats & republicans millions 💵 in lobbying and campaign contributions to grant immunity from lawsuits and guaranteed profits even when they give American citizens myocarditis and blood clots. And don’t forget the opioid crisis - 100% caused by pharmaceutical companies and Congress. 60,000 Americans or more dying every year. Worse than firearms and car crashes combined.
Nah, an Ambulance ride in Germany is free... if it is deemed necessary. If its fro a medical reason but not necessary (such as a broken arm where you could easily walk to the nearest hospital, then its the EUR 10). If you call the ambulance fro fraudulent reasons (aka nothing wrong with you and you just want a free Uber to the hospital, then you can be billed for the full price (something around EUR 300 I think... not 100% sure about the exact amount though)
In India just use any transport medium to reach govt hospital, rest won't cost anything and that all without any insurance. If you have some serious disease then you will have to go to bigger hospital and you will have to travel if you live in a small town. X ray is free, CT scan costs 800 rupees which is lot less than what it costs in private. I work here in district hospital which isn't that big of a hospital but it has basuc services like for usual sickness, emergency, normal delivery and surgeries like lscs, hydrocele, Tubectomy, vasectomy,hernia, eye surgery is available and all that for free. In winter like right now daily 5-6 Tubectomy sugery is getting done bcz many ppl opt for surgery in winter
Here in Canada its free for helth care abulubce etc but we pay a lot of tax our hst is 13 ( from where im from) or 15 % avg our tax in general are also 50% of what u make
Everyone forgets that in the US if you simply have job provided healthcare which the vast majority offer it’s so much cheaper. In many European counties you’re taxed 40%! Nearly half! You 100% will save and make more money spending some of it on a copay than spending 40% of your income on taxes out the gate 😂😂😂 people cannot do math
40% (or 42%) is the maximum tax rate in Germany for high income, but only for absurd high income. First 65k are taxed quite low (20%ish) and after it the effective tax rate is increased only slightly. And first, you can deduct a lot, second you get a lot for it, too. Not only universal health care, but also insurance if you get unemployed or long term sick, 1 year paid maternity leave (also for fathers or self employed business men - 1.5 years for both together if mother and father are splitting them up), if you are in trouble, all your usual expenses are covered including your apartment and last but not least: university or any other kind of education is free, too. And we have a public transport, so you don't need a car. So, you can keep close to everything after taxes unless you spend a lot of money voluntary and never have be afraid of not being able to going broke and homeless when something fails.
Canada has some pretty high Ambulance costs, I think I heard like $200-$500, but unless you get a fancy cast or crutches, your care is free as it's covered by your taxes
That was me lmao. I fractured both of my elbows and rode my bike to urgent care since I already know how expensive an ambulance ride in America is. I was escorted from my therapist office to a hospital and they sent the bill to me when I wasn't the one who called. This is why I hate American healthcare.
Man if i ever get to go to Germany and accidentally get hurt and was put in an ambulance i would be happy because as an American they are so expensive ive never been in one just dealt with the pain like an real American and only went to hospital if i didn't die from a life threatening injury
In America we are our own doctors because of insanely high prices. We only go to the hospital if we are EXTREMELY ill. But sadly for lots it's already too late because. Something that could have been caught and treated early turns into something chronic or life threatening. 😢😢😢
the guy who rode in the back of the ambulance with me violated HIPPA to get my phone number and i had to tell police about him and i still had to pay over two thousand dollars out of pocket 💀💀💀💀
You do not have to pay anything for an ambulance in Germany (if it's an emergency and not a prank call). Your insurance company pays for it. It's around 700€, depending on many factors. But again, you do not have to pay for it except you don't have insurance. Which usually never happens. Trust me, I work as ems in Germany.
Me in the netherlands whho has to pay 120 a month for insurrance, a bunch of costs aren't covered and I alwways have to pay a deductible that can tange from 350~800 euro before the insurance starts paying for anything.
"buT tHe wAiTing" Yeah private insurances and doctors still exist and they have to compete with the "statutory health insurance doctor" especially gynaecologist
It's not free pre-se. When I worked in Germany in the early 90's, about DM 200 or so was taken from my paycheck as a single guy for 'krankenkasse'....so It's insurance that I paid for.
Damn Meanwhile in the US i havent seen a doctor since i was 11 and have never once been to a dentist or other like eye doctors💀 Plus i have a high chance of having some mental conditions like autism but it costs 2000$ just to do the tests to get diagnosed 💀
In the US everyone also must have insurance and the employer also usually pays half its cost😂. and if you can’t afford insurance the government just gives you free insurance.
Most ambulance services in Australia are privately owned and still charge thousands if you need to be taken to the hospital. That being said, in my state (Victoria), you can buy ambulance cover for $52 a year for yourself or $104 a year for your family that will cover costs as long as it is something that requires you to go to hospital (so minor injuries/ illnesses and transportation to places other than the ER will still need to be paid in full)

Straight up free= random people paying for it. That makes no sense.
@@TuckertonWSOPfree to the individual. A good society supports one another, but I guess an American wouldn't understand that
I didn't know you had individuals
Poland : U PAY FOR CALLING THE AMBULANCE??!!??!!
At our country you get it for FREE!!!
It is free. You only have to pay for Krankentransport, which is something else than an ambulance. So yes, if you are an emergency, you dont have to pay anything.
*Laughs in Scottish* we dont even have to pay for a prescription
*Laughs in British* Me Neither
Germany is such a good country i wish i could live there😊😊😊
Its free in Denmark
In India, all ambulance and the treatment recieved in government hospitals is free for all citizens
I’m forever grateful for living in the UK, I have free healthcare and the option to pay to go privately. Paying for medical expenses is barbaric…
Barbaric? State controlled healthcare is barbaric, paying for your own healthcare is the only proper way to do it.
Becoming homeless forever or dying from lack of medical care is barbaric as well.
You've missed telling them how you will live crippled AND homeless bc you recently lost your job. You may have some money but wo an income due to unemployment, they may let you sit in emergency till you starve. They don't usually admit anyone who appears to be unable to pay and doesn't have someone to pay for them.
I've worked w ppl whose lives were ruined bc they were refused care, especially professionals. Whereas, if they had received treatment, they could have become well, gone back to work, and paid their bill.🤷♀️
I crashed by bike when I was 9 riding down the Baytown bridge Near Houston with my day, I got horrible road rash on my knees that took three months to heal my two from the teeth were broken and they got me an ambulance and a visit to the emergency room in total I think that 8 hour ordeal was around $4500, luckily my father had good insurance and I was just worried about my two front teeth as they were my permanent teeth. The emt was a hockey player and when I was crying about my teeth he showed me he was missing his as well. Good people.
In America the prices are highly distorted because of government mandates. So the people who actually have insurance or cash-pay end up paying 2x or 3x what things really cost because doctors and hospitals have to recoup losses from government-mandates.
The exceptions are discretionary medicine such as LASIK eye surgery, plastic surgery, orthodontists - because those are basically cash-pay, so those prices have been very stable and reasonable since the 1980s. Boob job 1981 $5,000. Boob job 2023 $5,000. LASIK 1997 $3000. LASIK 2023 $2000. Orthodontist 1986 $3,500. Orthodontist 2023 $3,500.
And pharmaceutical companies pay democrats & republicans millions 💵 in lobbying and campaign contributions to grant immunity from lawsuits and guaranteed profits even when they give American citizens myocarditis and blood clots.
And don’t forget the opioid crisis - 100% caused by pharmaceutical companies and Congress. 60,000 Americans or more dying every year. Worse than firearms and car crashes combined.
Meanwhile is us ambulance driver be asking for 4 thousand before completing trip to hospital 😂
It's free in nearly every country...how is this supposed to be shocking?
I'm from the United States it cost me $500 for a yearly checkup.
@@somerando5814 The USA is like the only country that still doesn't have universal healthcare in the devolped world.
@@thecosmos729 don't have to remind me how scared I am of breaking a leg and loosing my life savings!!
And in America, Thet ones who lay around and do nothing get it all for free
Correct. Ambulances and many healthcares are mysteriously free for those worthless smoochers only
What ? Such bull
Turn off Fox News it's not good for you
If you call an abumance here in the states your damning that person to finacial ruin.
And the doctors only get paid ten dollars a day
No ?
What? 🙈🤣
Tf are you on about? Do you think the doctors in the US actually get what you pay? They don't see a penny
Nah, an Ambulance ride in Germany is free... if it is deemed necessary. If its fro a medical reason but not necessary (such as a broken arm where you could easily walk to the nearest hospital, then its the EUR 10). If you call the ambulance fro fraudulent reasons (aka nothing wrong with you and you just want a free Uber to the hospital, then you can be billed for the full price (something around EUR 300 I think... not 100% sure about the exact amount though)
And it’s like 4K in SoCal (Los Angeles)
Nice vespa in the back
Every American when he trips even tho there is not a single scratch
You don't speak English well and are insulting America.... Bad look
Bro had instant regret after that hi five
It takes more than 500 dollars to get an ambulance and thousands of dollars for healthcare in America. We rlly need to up our game.
In India just use any transport medium to reach govt hospital, rest won't cost anything and that all without any insurance. If you have some serious disease then you will have to go to bigger hospital and you will have to travel if you live in a small town. X ray is free, CT scan costs 800 rupees which is lot less than what it costs in private. I work here in district hospital which isn't that big of a hospital but it has basuc services like for usual sickness, emergency, normal delivery and surgeries like lscs, hydrocele, Tubectomy, vasectomy,hernia, eye surgery is available and all that for free. In winter like right now daily 5-6 Tubectomy sugery is getting done bcz many ppl opt for surgery in winter
That's it. I'm going to Germany.
Here in Canada its free for helth care abulubce etc but we pay a lot of tax our hst is 13 ( from where im from) or 15 % avg our tax in general are also 50% of what u make
"your life saving are 10Euro?"
My life savings is less than a dollar, man!
In America if you have a good insurance you can pay from anywhere to a few hundred to two thousand dollars for a 10 k ambulance ride
and in many countries you pay nothing for the same ride
Yes, but you are paying a fortune every month for that insurance. You might never need an ambulance.
Meanwhile in California $4800 for 4 blocks Ambulance and $148 for oxygen.... and $1400 for doctor copay.
Everyone forgets that in the US if you simply have job provided healthcare which the vast majority offer it’s so much cheaper. In many European counties you’re taxed 40%! Nearly half! You 100% will save and make more money spending some of it on a copay than spending 40% of your income on taxes out the gate 😂😂😂 people cannot do math
Love the delulu hunty
40% (or 42%) is the maximum tax rate in Germany for high income, but only for absurd high income. First 65k are taxed quite low (20%ish) and after it the effective tax rate is increased only slightly.
And first, you can deduct a lot, second you get a lot for it, too.
Not only universal health care, but also insurance if you get unemployed or long term sick, 1 year paid maternity leave (also for fathers or self employed business men - 1.5 years for both together if mother and father are splitting them up), if you are in trouble, all your usual expenses are covered including your apartment and last but not least: university or any other kind of education is free, too. And we have a public transport, so you don't need a car. So, you can keep close to everything after taxes unless you spend a lot of money voluntary and never have be afraid of not being able to going broke and homeless when something fails.
Canada has some pretty high Ambulance costs, I think I heard like $200-$500, but unless you get a fancy cast or crutches, your care is free as it's covered by your taxes
That was me lmao. I fractured both of my elbows and rode my bike to urgent care since I already know how expensive an ambulance ride in America is. I was escorted from my therapist office to a hospital and they sent the bill to me when I wasn't the one who called. This is why I hate American healthcare.
Over here an ambulance trip is like 5-600 bucks after insurance.
Helicopter ambulances are thousands. Id rather die at that point lol
Me being Canadian with free health care
Man if i ever get to go to Germany and accidentally get hurt and was put in an ambulance i would be happy because as an American they are so expensive ive never been in one just dealt with the pain like an real American and only went to hospital if i didn't die from a life threatening injury
every American's balls drop when a ambulance is called like nah why,call a uber
If you are smashed up, you might not fit in an uber.
In America we are our own doctors because of insanely high prices. We only go to the hospital if we are EXTREMELY ill. But sadly for lots it's already too late because. Something that could have been caught and treated early turns into something chronic or life threatening. 😢😢😢
Time to back my bags my next destination GERMANY
In my country all healthcare is free (although there is extra private services)
In the UK it’s free 😊
In UK and most of Poland its free 😭
the guy who rode in the back of the ambulance with me violated HIPPA to get my phone number and i had to tell police about him and i still had to pay over two thousand dollars out of pocket 💀💀💀💀
You do not have to pay anything for an ambulance in Germany (if it's an emergency and not a prank call). Your insurance company pays for it. It's around 700€, depending on many factors. But again, you do not have to pay for it except you don't have insurance. Which usually never happens.
Trust me, I work as ems in Germany.
The guy is Australian . In Australia our ambulances are covered by pension cards or basic inexpensive health insurance
Me in the netherlands whho has to pay 120 a month for insurrance, a bunch of costs aren't covered and I alwways have to pay a deductible that can tange from 350~800 euro before the insurance starts paying for anything.
10 bucks sounds like a damn good deal sure beats 10k
I want to really relocate to Germany 😮
nice it’s lovely when you have to wait a month just to get health services :)
"buT tHe wAiTing"
Yeah private insurances and doctors still exist and they have to compete with the "statutory health insurance doctor" especially gynaecologist
In Poland its free if you have insurance. and insurance is free
In Netherlands you pay 260 just for the ride.. i ll drive myself there😂
I live in Jordan middle east and the ambulance is free but that's the onmy good thing in the whole country lol
Malaysia is like free for government ambulance and government hospital treatments cost between RM 1 to RM 100
Meanwhile, in Britain: you guys have to pay!?!
It's not free pre-se. When I worked in Germany in the early 90's, about DM 200 or so was taken from my paycheck as a single guy for 'krankenkasse'....so It's insurance that I paid for.
Here the ambulance is free!
Its even free in Poland
In Italy you pay litterally 0 for essentialy nearly most of the useless things like a broken bone
meanwhile:
Murika:
patiant: i have a cold
Doctor: your lying
...
anyway thats 20000$
Its good to be in Canada
Until Castreau takes away your last few freedoms.
Damn
Meanwhile in the US i havent seen a doctor since i was 11 and have never once been to a dentist or other like eye doctors💀
Plus i have a high chance of having some mental conditions like autism but it costs 2000$ just to do the tests to get diagnosed 💀
In the US everyone also must have insurance and the employer also usually pays half its cost😂. and if you can’t afford insurance the government just gives you free insurance.
Yeah, except yall still manage to go broke after one papercut
It cost me 500 for the paramedics just to come to me 💀
They’re free in Australia too
No they arent
In Queensland and Tasmina they are free
In all other states you're looking at over $1000 for an ambulance call out
Most ambulance services in Australia are privately owned and still charge thousands if you need to be taken to the hospital. That being said, in my state (Victoria), you can buy ambulance cover for $52 a year for yourself or $104 a year for your family that will cover costs as long as it is something that requires you to go to hospital (so minor injuries/ illnesses and transportation to places other than the ER will still need to be paid in full)
You don't have to pay anything. Not even 10 €. 😂
If you live in Canada, and if you call the ambulance, if you have a life-threatening injury, it’s actually free🇨🇦
In Brazil It's free, even the hospital
Laughs and cries in British. Free Heath care but it was 3 months to see if my infection was sepsis
UK: Am I a joke to you?
