simple by being self employed and insured with the gesetzliche krankenkasse. my health insurance simply calculated the highest posible pre-payments (930 euros/month) until they get my official tax returns to prove how much i actually made.  they told me i have to pay it now and when they get my einkommensteuerbescheid they will calculate the actual payments and return any money i overpaid. problem is: i don't have fucking 900 euros every month to give to them in hopes that i will get it back in 2 or 3 years when the finanzamt gets its shit together and processes my tax returns. so i couldn't pay the last 2 1/2 years and have now roughly 30k euros outstanding with them. the zoll paid me a visit and i showed them all my income and they just levied my bank account. every income above 2k euros gets automatically sent to the health insurance. which lead to me having debts with the tax office as i can't pay rent/food and do my tax pre payments this is "free" health care in germany. i should just go buergergeld
