A horrifying image shows the injuries of a hiker who walked 10 miles with a trekking pole through his body instead of paying for a helicopter evacuation.
From what I can tell, in Germany it’s largely a “hope your medical insurance covers it” situation. Apparently, around 99.9% of people in Germany have health insurance in some form.
It’s very different here. I was paying $400+ a month for united Healthcare and they denied everything. Couldn’t see specialists, every treatment denied. They wouldn’t even give me a 90 count supply of my meds. Only 30 counts.
I’ve had health issues that have gone unresolved for years… Years! I work constantly and get almost nothing in return.
How so?

Only edge cases where people acted exceptionally recklessly wouldn’t fully be covered by insurance, as far as my experience goes.

I’m not German but probably, the same.
