Europe's healthcare isn't perfect like many Americans make it out to be. It has its own list of cons. Although it is very nice when you go to a Dr there and talking about money isn't even a thing.

My wife is German. There are Dr's that refuse to work with insurance altogether. There are procedures not covered at all. The employer pays for half the insurance, the state (aka taxes... so you) pay for the other half. Self employed people who failed to pay their "half" can still end up with life crushing bills (personal experience in the family). Not sure what happens if unemployed (I assume the State does step in there to cover it 100%?).
