Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Hamburg?

"Healthcare and health insurance in Hamburg can be expensive, depending on the type of coverage and provider. Generally, public health insurance is available to those who are employed or self-employed, and is usually subsidized by employers. Private health insurance is also available, but can be more expensive. In addition, there are additional costs associated with healthcare, such as co-payments for doctor visits and prescriptions," remarked another expat who made the move to Hamburg, Germany.
