I am not sure if you are being cynical tbh. I was reacting to a comment stating it's weird your employer plays a role in health insurance in US, my point was he does in Germany too.

Of course our social system is totally different. The tax payer will usually cover your insurance in case you lose your job. Coverage levels are not a thing, everybody has more or less the same level which is rather high compared to other countries. However there is private insurance for high earners and state employees that do not pay into the public fund, meaning we do have a two class system which is pretty unfair.
