This is for private insurance, if you go with the state insurance it depends on your salary but the maximum is also around 700+ Euro. There a non working spouse and children would be included while in a private insurance it is not.
With his income I doubt health insurance is a big deal for him in Germany. Taxes is a different story. Also you have a really hard time to buy ETF's or other investments (basically you end up in a twilight zone because of US and EU regulations each locking you out of the others investments).
