"Yes, as a foreigner living in Berlin, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Germany is known for its high quality and is funded by taxes. It is available to all residents, regardless of their nationality, and covers a wide range of services, including preventive care, hospital stays, and specialist care. The cost of care is usually quite low, and in some cases, it may even be free. Additionally, there are a variety of private health insurance options available for those who wish to supplement their public coverage," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Berlin, Germany.
