Health insurance is not free in Europe. German health insurance costs a maximum of $10,300 (EUR 9,132) annually.

This price provides insurance for the whole family, plus the retired and those with no income. You can switch insurance companies with 2 months notice.

In Germany medical insurance costs 7.3% for employer and employee up to the Beitragsbemessungsgrenze income contribution limit of $70,600 (EUR 62,550).
.

Medical insurance cost is quite a bit lower in nations like France and Italy, about half that in Italy, where expectations for healthcare are lower, as well as the public's interest in paying for health insurance.

Of course nothing works correctly in Italy, regardless of the cost.

The horrific mistake Donald Trump has made.
Many epidemiologists suspect mild symptoms may simply be masking that children are getting infected the same rates as adults.

New data published last week by Chinese researchers showed authorities searching for coronavirus cases based on symptoms found lower rates in kids.

But when they relied on contact tracing — testing people who come in contact with a confirmed case — children seemed to be getting infected at the same rate as adults.
