Health insurance in Germany

Germany operates a social security system, and one of the most important features of that system is mandatory insurance. This means that the vast majority of those living and working in Germany must take out statutory insurance cover for certain risks such as illness, unemployment and accidents. Both the employer and the employee pay social security contributions.

This does not apply to the self-employed, freelancers, those in marginal employment, public servants or soldiers. These groups can take out voluntary private insurance.
