I’ll start with the German system. Here you are either automatically insured in one of the public insurances (there are many), which marginally differ in their cost (think single digit euro differences) and have to cover basically the same procedures. If one reaches a certain income level, being privately insured is possible.

If you are publicly insured, you wont see most costs, as these are directly handled between your insurer and the doctor/hospital. For some medications and procedures there are co-pays that are flat fees (5 Eur for Medications, …).

Access to specialists mostly need a referral from your family doctor.

In private insurance, often you yourself will be billed and you will need to hand this to your insurance company.

The good side is that in most common situations I have never needed to worry about cost in public insurance, wait times for referrals can be very long and understanding what you need to get certain care can be very difficult. Private insurance often has better payment schemes for providers and less artificial limits on number of patients or which doctor is able to provide services, so access to most care is faster and more widely available.

Some foss games I can recommend are Battle for Wesnoth and Endless Sky.

They probably don’t want to get into any arguments regarding cost with a patient.

Profit motives may have been a driver for reddits decisions, but we don’t need to pretend that foss doesn’t have its own share of unpopular or controversial decisions.

It’s about choice and foss makes it much easier to reject and do your own thing.

Browser based blocking seems very out of touch and anything short of GFW as in China won’t be very effective at actually achieving any blocking. Also enforcement client side will be impossible to control.

So not only is the law bad, but it will only make life more difficult for legitimate persons and organizations building browsers.
