Statutory health insurance: Additional contributions can remain stable in 2027

The additional contribution from statutory health insurance companies should remain stable in 2027, after spending increases less than in the current year. Health Minister Carsten Linnemann attributes this to the Statutory Health Insurance Contribution Rate Stabilization Act, which relieves the burden on the coffers by up to 15 billion euros. Despite the positive development, he warned of continued financial stress and emphasized the need for structural reforms.

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.

More and more suicides in Germany - experts are calling for prevention

Last year, 11,334 people committed suicide in Germany - an increase of 9.3 percent compared to the previous year and 15.6 percent above the ten-year average. The increase is being driven in particular by more suicides among women and assisted suicides, while the federal government is discussing new regulations on assisted suicide and is planning prevention measures such as a nationwide crisis service telephone number.
