According to Linnemann, the additional contribution for statutory health insurance will remain stable in 2027

The average additional contribution rate for statutory health insurance could remain stable in the coming year, as Health Minister Carsten Linnemann announced based on the financial forecast of the GKV estimators group. The health insurance companies' expenses are expected to increase less sharply than in the current year, primarily thanks to the GKV Contribution Rate Stabilization Act, which will relieve the health insurance funds of up to 15 billion euros. However, Linnemann emphasized that the financial situation remained tense despite the reform and that structural problems needed to be solved.
