Do you have ambition to live or retire abroad?

I was reading somewhere else about the nightmare of the German healthcare system
Is it just layers and layers of bureaucracy?
What’s the deal?


No. You can't even imagine how good it is. Even with it's "problems" it's about 1000 times better than any health care I ever had in the USA. Whoever said that doesn't know what they are talking about, IMO.

There is almost no bureaucracy. Doctor says I need it. I get it. End of story. No co-payments or deductibles. No networks. Prescription meds free and/or super cheap. If that's a nightmare then sign me up for the nightmare. I was and still am really blown away by it. Of course, Germans talk about it like it's garbage, but that's because they have never really experienced a bad health care system. I have a few friends who always dreamed of living in the USA until I told them what the healthcare system is like....lol.

I also get 30 paid vacation days a year plus public holidays. It's the norm.
