Attitudes towards the dual health insurance system and inequalities in health care in Germany – results of a population survey

A survey of 2,201 adults in Germany found that while about 77% believe all insured individuals have equal access to necessary medical care, only around 20% think the quality of care is the same between statutory and private insurance holders. Nearly 80% support abolishing the dual health insurance system, including majorities across all socio-demographic groups and political affiliations. Accepting the different remuneration for private versus statutory insurance was low, with only about 15% agreement, mainly among older individuals and privately insured people.
