mindflayeron Difficulties accessing medical services as an EU immigrant in Germany

It's a layout aspect and there's nothing wrong with it. If you like pure text articles you can just use an app like Pocket that extracts only the text from every article you add.

I'm paying taxes in Germany and my girlfriend does not have access to the health system just because we are not married, that's absurd.

Italian health insurance works only for emergency, that does not mean everything else is not important. Every syndrome is treated as not urgent, meaning your life is not in danger.

Again, she is registered in Germany and she has everything she needs except for the most important thing, which is the possibility to access to the health system.

It seems you totally invent a story. I'm complaining about the fact that you can register in Germany without having access to an health insurance, and that's bad from any point of view.

Most of the comments are definitely out of topics. The European health insurance card only covers emergencies, and I've never said it was a problem. The problem was being able to investigate the problem because they only allowed her to access to some basic checkups like blood exams, that were not enough to solve her problem. Of course we have German speakers as friends but in this case it did not help. The biggest problem I see is the fact that Anmeldung and the health insurance subscription are totally disconnected, so you can have people with the right to live in Germany but actually without the possibility to access to the German healthcare system, that is again what I call a bug.

Again, you definitely missed the point. I've never said I don't want to follow the rules.

I feel like you did not get the point. I'm criticizing exactly this rule which does not make any sense, imho. I am not comparing the two countries.

Oh shit, after the upgrade to Android 6 on my OnePlus the default browser is not there anymore. My fault, sorry Google, at least for now.
