The third reich had free health care. Maybe he’s referring to that? The post is from 2016 and out of context so it might be from some discussion over health care costs.

Reading all this drama I’m glad that I don’t have to work for a living anymore. Looks like you wouldn’t get any work done over the constant drama. Very depressing.



According to wikipedia it wasn't free healthcare, it was health insurance, which people were mandated to have as of 1941.

Contemporary states (like current Germany) that provide healthcare typically do it through mandatory health insurance and we call it free healthcare. So I think it is ok to call it that in nazi case too to large extend.

I am 100% sure it was not joke about that, it was joke about holocaust.

The germans of jewish descent were not considered citizes in Germany, so anyway I doubt the above benefits fully applied to them anyway.
