My first child has a genetic disorder. We had to spend 4 months in hospital during the first year and just one medication the kid has to take costs ~€250k per year.

For the hospital stay we paid a total of €0.

The medication costs ~€7 per pack and is capped to 2% of my yearly income.

Apparently not letting kids die from treatable conditions is socialism though.
