Solidarity-based system

Germany’s public health insurance is built on the principle of solidarity. This means that everyone contributes according to their income, and everyone receives care according to their needs. Higher earners help support those with lower incomes, ensuring stable, universal access to healthcare.

Started by reaching out for a consultation as my previous health insurance was coming to a close and I desperately needed to find a German plan. I worked with Dabar Reimer who went above and beyond in the process of assisting me. She helped guide me to a plan that worked for me.
