I was going to cancel our childrens insurance policies this spring but then decided to wait a while yet, I got them before they were born and the first years were a bit expensive (like 500 euros / year). Now when my son is 8 years I think the insurance is only about 200 euros so its not too bad. The problem is that my spouse has been handling the bills and she never remembers to send them to the insurance company so I end up paying for the doctors and meds in addition to the insurance...
But I am starting to agree that its a good thing to keep the insurances, I keep hearing how they are cutting the public health care so dunno how much care they would get from there. Not sure if I'd use the public health care system anyway for the children, since waiting for 5 hours could be a bit tough for them. Its just that if a doctors appointment costs about 70 euros and the medicine maybe 15 euros on average then we could see a doc 3-4 times a year for the price we pay now and we very rarely need to go that often.
