Does that include the healthcare-related taxes you paid? Not being snarky, genuinely wondering.

The public insurance which covers 88% of the population gets 15 billion tax EUR annually, with total revenue of public insurances being 250 billion.

So most money comes from the insured people. The maximum you pay for the public insurance is 703€ per month, and it covers your children and non working spouse.

Note that the cost is split with your employer. So the maximum you will have to pay is €365/month I think. Less if you income is not high.

There are no extra healthcare taxes.
