My nephew just became a licensed doctor in Germany
After 11 years of training he earns a jaw dropping €38,000 a year
After income tax, social charges, liability insurance, climate action contribution, and migrant housing solidarity fund, he takes home €795 per month
He is 37 years old and shares a 41sqm apartment with two other doctors
Soon I will see him in action when he examines my back that has been bothering me for ages (wait time is only 7 months)
"Medicine shouldn't be about money" he says
This is how well-functioning healthcare looks like
Enjoy your $400,000 hospital bills, Americans
