I don’t think that the German system is *that* bad, but you can bet you pay if you are a non-citizen. It isn’t free. They also give their citizens priority to get into med schools (we give a lot of our med school and other university slots to wealthy, foreign born students, who take their skills back home- then we claim a shortage and have to import non-English speaking doctors from who knows what med-school) and help them pay for it. The doctors don’t make as much, as they don’t come out of school in debt and there isn’t the shortage we have.
Not only does it not work in the UK and Canaduh, it won’t work in other universes.The legacy of Britain’s socialized medical system is a growing reliance on foreign doctors.( like seven of the eight suspects arrested in the failed London car bombing and Glasgow airport attack. )
