> Germany requires immigrants to have private health insurance until they are granted permanent residence/citizenship.

This is not true! I'm in Germany since 2012 and still don't have permanent residence permit, but have public health insurance from day one.

Well that is interesting. What is your original country of origin?

Not the person you are responding to, but my wife is an American living in Germany and we have public insurance.

I think you're conflating a few different terms and perhaps not fully understanding what is meant by public and private insurance in Germany?
