BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A popular German singer who had breast implants paid for by health insurers has sparked a debate about what is wrong with the country's generous but cash-strapped welfare system.
Pop singer Juliette said she had an operation to enlarge her breasts three years ago, and her health insurance paid the bill, raising eyebrows about the extensive treatment Germans receive at a time when insurers are facing huge deficits.

If you think health care is expensive now, just wait until it's "free."

Ya know, I thought this was going to be an article about David Hasselhof getting pec implants for "Baywatch a Hawaiian Wedding".
Other than that, indeed money does not grow on trees.

"I had done ballet for several years and that's why I had small breasts." Doing ballet caused her to have small breasts?
Did I miss some scientific breakthrough?

"I had done ballet for several years and that's why I had small breasts."It's that new age interpretive ballet where one actually uses their nipples instead of tippietoes.

You can try to find photos at

Keep us abreast of developments in this story.
To: TomB
It was for her welfare so why wouldn't it be covered? I'll have to tell my girlfriend, "Say NO to ballet".
To: berserker
Oh my!
To: shadowman99
I didn't know that they made implants that small.

So that explains it!!! I had a girlfriend for years who was a ballet dancer. I did her for years and it made me smaller.

Pop singer Juliette said she had an operation to enlarge her breasts three years ago, and her health insurance paid the bill, raising eyebrows I wonder if the breast implants raised anything else...
To: cdefreese
I wanted breasts that fit my body.The prior ones fit. Don't try and blame it on the ballet.
To: cdefreese
I want her breasts to fit my hands. Who do I see in Germany for a hand job?

"I had done ballet for several years and that's why I had small breasts."Ballerinas are supposed to be lithe, not busty. I'm sure this lady is referring to the preferred ballet image (which in her case was her natural body shape).

no you didnt miss anything, most dancers or those who are very active do have very small breasts, not an ounce of fat in their systems and as breasts are mostly fat tissue....well you get the picture
