Health insurance fees stay stable

125

The fees for the health insurance stay stable in the year 2027. Experts calculate this on Wednesday. The extra-fee stays at 2,9 percent. This is good news for many people. A new law helps to save money. This law saves up to 15 billion euro for the groups.

Carsten Linnemann is the health minister. He likes the news. But he also says: The groups still have trouble. People must fix money trouble for a long time. The costs grow slower next year. The situation stays hard for the groups.

Every health-insurance decides the exact amount alone. The normal fee is 14,6 percent. The extra-fee comes on top. Together this is mostly 17,5 percent from the wage. Boss and worker share these costs. Some groups raise prices anyway.
