The German Healthcare System

by Jacques on April 21, 2010

Seventh in my series on National Healthcare System is the German Healthcare System.

It just went live on the Lighthouse website a few weeks back, and we got good feedback from our German clients. As with many universal insurance system, overall health care expenditures rose to more than 10% of GDP in recent years. German legislators are trying hard to contain costs, and with the ever-ageing German population, they will have to double their efforts in the future.

A little teaser to entice you to follow the here above link.
You will discover that the German system:

  1. is very decentralized ;
  2. is the oldest universal health care system in the World;
  3. lets individuals choose among the statutory funds in their region;

    Thanks !
    I too think Health is Wealth. This is why I believe in the European model. Because they are socialized, they got the scale to promote healthier living and early prevention. It saves $$ and benefits society as a whole !
