Both National Guards had been sworn in just 24 hours prior.

Edit: Looks like it was corrected.

"During the press conference on Thursday, Pirro said the two Guardsmen were sworn in 24 hours prior to being shot. A joint task force spokesperson later said the two Guard members were deputized less than 24 hours before the shooting to "maintain their status to conduct presence patrols," according to a joint task force spokesperson."

She gave birth in a very nice but very small facility so it is plausible that they put pressure on her for billing purposes.

That was not the case with my sister. She has pretty good insurance and had really good care. She ended up making a phone call an hour or two after her premature baby was born to add her to the policy because her now uninsured baby was in the NICU.

There was an art museum that I went to, I think in Cologne that had prints of basically all the paintings. If you really liked one, you could get a high quality print, photo, postcard, etc.

I'm no stranger to the bureaucratic paperwork nightmares of Germany but this hasn't really applied to us with healthcare related stuff. Wait times at walk-in clinics has been relatively short and the care has been thorough and good. We have more coverage, prescriptions and overall out of pocket expenses are way cheaper. We are getting older and my wife was having some anxiety about her health so I told her get all the testing you want, we'll submit it all for reimbursement and just pay out of pocket for what they wont cover. She got a full physical, blood/stool/urine work, and a full body ultrasound. All of it was reimbursed(we are on private insurance, but we go to facilities that also provide care for public insurance). That's just a bit about my limited experience in Frankfurt but overall we have been much happier with it.

Agreed. Wife and I have been in Germany for a year and a half and we love it. When we were unemployed and taking language courses, health insurance was 100€ per month for both of us. And our coverage was way better than our mid tier insurance in the US at $600 a month.

A lot of them have been adding terms about LLMs and using your data for them.
