American students head to Germany for free college

That's pretty fair, considering many schools in the US now cost $25,000 USD a year. How much is health insurance?

For most students it's free (included in their parent's insurance who pay ~8% of their income). The other's pay 80€ (or 160€ for students over 30 or studying longer than seven years).

For Germans it's free until the 25th birthday (that is, you are in your parent's insurance at no extra cost), afterwards about 70 Euro/month (until you start to earn ~10k $/a).
