Reply to comment by CapnLazerz in ELI5: What is Universal Healthcare by Thegreatcornholio459
Just to add for Germany, as universal healthcare is always confused with free. Depending on income you pay a certain percentage of your income, which is automatically deducted from your pay by your employer. I pay around 370 per month and my employer pays an additional 340 per month for my health insurance, and that's with slightly above average income..
But my family (wife and kid) are completely covered as well.

In the us for basic coverage that is employer sponsored is still closer to $1000 a month. At least that’s the bill I got when I got laid off.
