- flatfilefan 7y agoYou have a choice between public and private insurance. And you can very well be publicly insured should you desire so (for a cost). It’s just that if you don’t have an employer you pay full medical insurance premium (not half). But should you get bankrupt you will get the public medical insurance benefits for free again.

- johannes1234321 7y agoSelf-employed you can be in a public health insurance. Depending on income you might switch to private though. More relevant: self-employed don't pay into social security. Thus unemployment money and retirement have to be paid differently.
