  • My health insurance costs 842€ a month. I pay half of it, the other half my employer. So I am quite impressed with the $20 from the estimation.

    But why do two jobs? Won’t people do a better job concentrating on one thing and getting $2000 for that, instead of gaining experience in two different areas at the same time?

    Is that safe? My knowledge of Columbia is limited to what I learned watching Narcos on Netflix. But it did not look like a medically advanced country.

    I used the power of search engines. Looks like I’m the big cities, health care is quite adequate. Have a nice trip!

    Dental work is often also not covered in the standard insurance in Germany. You either have to get an extra insurance, or you pay out of pocket, or you live with the condition (all serious things are covered, cosmetics often are not). But even then the cost is usually on the hundreds, sometimes in the thousands. 40,000 is more than the average person earns here 🙃



  • Isn’t it cheaper to fly to Europe, visit a doctor, and fly back instead of going to the ER?

    Also for “normal” treatments. Getting a baby costs like $2000 in Germany without insurance. Plus flight and hotel for two months you are still far below 10K in total cost. 😁

    I also have no idea what you are trying to say.

    I was just at the doctor a couple of times in November. Turns out I had a bronchitis, possibly with a bacterial superinfection.

    So I was at the doctor to

    1. Check if my lungs were affected. is there a danger of a lung infection?
    2. Do I need antibiotics or should I sit it out?
    3. Get a doctors note (I was on sick leave for three and a half weeks)

    This is nothing I could google. I actually did google and did not find bronchitis as an issue, but cold, influenza, and lung cancer. Google does not know how my lungs sound when I breathe.

    So of course you should ask your doctor and not the internet.
