You should care about the deductible, cause you entered the contract, silly.

Get private insurance in Germany, there's also a deductible, unless you want to pay more.

That's because of price fixing (GOÄ). It's all they can charge. And they were probably happy about it because had you been insured they would've only gotten maybe half that.
