Just to avoid any false impressions: healthcare is not free in Germany. You should always get travel health insurance. Having said that, it’s pretty affordable. I pay about €80 a year for me and my wife for worldwide coverage.

I think a lot of people in the US have their head so far up their ass being racist and doing other xenophobia, they’d rather drown in their own shit than than have “one of them” get something “for free”.
