    Of course, tying access to important services like healthcare to employment would be inhumane. You still need a doctor if you are sick, regardless of employment status.

    Edit: And contraceptives are a healthcare thing, and is thus covered. Condoms are a seperate service, but covered and made accessible by the state as well.

      This is what Germany does.

      I ask because US Americans think healthcare in the EU is amazing. Then you realize its illegal not to have healthcare in Germany, and you have to pay for it. Even if you dont have a job.

          And if you dont quality for unemployment?

          Some people choose to be unemployed. The German system doesn’t really allow for that
