Let's not forget that H/K are not based in Germany. Iirc, they returned to Germany after Worlds exactly because Robert could be treated there and not in Italy, which of course would be very difficult to do during the season while still actively training for Euros & Worlds.
And while the German health system covers a lot, it by far does not cover everything - Not connected to this situation in particular, but good luck getting any insurance to even partially cover the cost for your glasses as an adult if you have anything under 6 dioptre.
Also, having to cover ~70k a season on your own (without daily expenses like food) is definitely not "blowing out of proportion" the lack of funding that very much exists in German skating.
