Hi
I haven't read all the posts, but if we are comparing Health Insurance, I'm paying a private policy and it costs 198Euro per month, my employer pays half which means I only pay half of this. The scheme is fully private, covers you world wide, and is only available for expats and not native residents. You have to be foreign to apply and not plan to retire in Germany, and the policy stops when you leave. As policies go, I believe its very comprehensive, covers dental and eyes and glasses and things which I think is extra on some, and its an Allianz policy. Suits me!
PM me if you want any details. (the broker is english-speaking, and has supplied me with a list of english-speaking doctors, dentists and opticians too!).
