I had private health insurance in Germany and it was super easy. It makes no sense to let the employer handle it. If your car insurance was bought by your employer it would also probably be a super complex beast because the party that pays and the party that uses it have different agendas.
- munchbunny 8y agoHealth insurance plans in Germany must be much simpler then. I don't know if you've looked at health insurance plans in the US, but picking one (whether private or company-administered) is a pain, and understanding the nuances that differentiate your options is a pain.
- maxxxxx 8y agoThat's where regulation helps that defines minimum standards so you know that the plan is reasonable when you buy it. A lot of US plans seem to be designed so they don't have to pay when the patient gets sick.
