"Access" is the weasel word there. You and I both have "access" to a yacht.

    In germany "healthcare" usually implies "public healthcare", which implies "free". Private healthcare is a strong exception, and public health care is the default.

    It would be very unusual, if the person in the tweet was referring to "private healthcare" when they said "yes".

    The question would be kinda nonsensical when you assume it was about paying for healthcare. "Should people be allowed to pay money to receive usual healthcare services?"

    No, there's private healthcare and private health insurance and the "conservative" and right wing parties are always working on making public healthcare less accessible, more expensive. It's also never truly free, your contribution just gets directly taken out of your salary.
