I have to correct you there: having health insurance IS mandatory.
At least in Germany. It's the law. It's one of five insurances that everyone get's and usually these are all covered. If you - like me - happen to fall into the rare situation that it won't be paied anymore and you have to pay for it yourself (some people do it on their own anyway, because there are certain advantages to it) and you can't afford it there are places you can go to to make a request for some help with money. They'll have full view over all your finances and you'll have to follow certain rules but they'll help you if it's decided that you are in need of financial help.
And even if it wasn't the law, I still have to see a doctor reguarly because of certain health problems which I have.
Good for you that you don't have to visit the doctors often, but that is just you. Other people are diffrent.

If it's funny, make sure people laugh. If it's not funny, make it funny (unless it's actually really serious). (silvercheers)
