Healthcare

The healthcare system comprises above all insured persons and insurance policies and the relationships between them. The healthcare system in Germany has grown over the course of history into the system that we know today. Healthcare policy was pursued as early as 1883 by Otto von Bismarck. At that time, he founded the statutory healthcare insurance scheme which to this day forms the foundation of the German healthcare system. Back then, as is still the case today, the financing of the healthcare system was a major topic. How much should each person pay and what services should be guaranteed? These are questions where there are large divergences of opinion. Further interesting aspects of the healthcare system are – in particular nowadays – the private health insurance companies and long-term care insurance.
