should I go without insurance until those benefits kick in? could be 3 more months until then.

depends on your health history. for me that would be a HORRIBLE idea. but if you havent NEEDED to go to the doctor in the last year then you are probably fine for 4 months

whatever you do dont go to the porn theater and make out with a dozen old men while jerking off. I catch strep every time.

OP here and should mention I have no pre-existing conditions and am perfectly healthy. I'm more worried about the penalty for not being covered. I've had to pay a fine or whatever for not having insurance even though I never went to the hospital.

>tfw the cheapest health insurance for poor fag students in germany is 80€ while normies pay 200-300€/month
I haven't needed health insurance for the last 10 years (while paying 35K in the meanwhile) and if it would not be illegal to not pay that shit here I wouldn't.

Bad goy, pay up so that Tyron can get his Diabeetus covered while eating 25000 calories a day.

that 35k will come back to help you when you finally do get cancer, or need a transplant or what have you.
consider it an investment.

Its not an investment, it's a scam. Everone falling for social health care is either a) benefiting from other peoples money or b) retarded. In case a) I would rather donate to a charity which help people in need out (instead of supporting shitty behaviour).

Dont worry about the penalty, you won't have to pay it as you'll be in a grace period.
