Answer:

I can provide information. Please check spelling.

Step-by-step explanation:

"In the US, healthcare is about 17.1% of GDP and we pay about $10,207 per capita for our healthcare. ... In Germany, healthcare is about 11.5% of GDP, and they pay about $5,848 per capita. 77% of this expenditure is through the sickness funds.

"Health insurance is mandatory in Germany. Approximately 86 percent of the population is en-rolled in statutory health insurance, which provides inpatient, outpatient, mental health, and prescription drug coverage."

European healthcare is much different than the United States's system. Firstly, the U.S is unrequired to be apart of the healthcare plan, though they still have a high rate of enrollment.. In Germany, Approximately 86 percent of the population is en-rolled in health insurance, which provides mental health, and prescription drug coverage. However, the U.S has, as of 2020, around 91.4 percent of people has some form of health insurance. Secoundly, In the US, healthcare is about 17.1% of GDP, whilst in Germany, healthcare is about 11.5% of GDP, and they pay about $5,848 per capita. Realitivly speaking, Europes healthcare is sufficently better than Americas, and much less expensive.
