Potential Savings in Health Insurance Contributions

A proposal to establish a uniform health insurance system could significantly reduce contribution rates, with potential savings of up to 1000 euros annually for individuals. This initiative may eliminate supplementary contributions entirely, allowing for a reduction of up to 3.8% in overall rates.

However, experts remain skeptical about the feasibility of achieving greater savings through administrative efficiency compared to fostering competition. Additional measures, such as raising the contribution assessment ceiling and increasing tariff options, could further alleviate financial burdens.

While the Greens' approach differs, the establishment of a unified fund would require several years to implement.
