Half of Germans dissatisfied with healthcare system

Berlin, Aug 10 (Prensa Latina) Nearly half of Germans are not very satisfied or dissatisfied with the country's healthcare system, according to a study conducted by Forsa institute on behalf of the health insurance company Techniker Krankenkasse (TK).

Meanwhile, 40 percent were satisfied and 12 percent were completely satisfied or very satisfied with this indicator.

More and more people have the feeling that they no longer get adequate consideration for the constantly rising contributions, for example, when they have to wait a long time to get a doctor’s appointment, commented Jens Baas, chairman of the board of TK.

By 2026, health insurers are forecasting a shortfall of up to eight billion euros.

Forsa surveyed 1,400 people over the age of 18 throughout Germany in July on behalf of the insurer TK.
