Thanks for the explanation! With the exception of the implication that Krakenkasses aren’t required to be available to all (why? Strange that there would be age/employment requirements), that sounds excellent, at least from a US perspective. I think a public option that can negotiate and isn’t just a price taker goes a long way to reining in the excesses of the private options and the providers, if they want to remain competitive. We don’t really have that normalizing force in the US. But it’s nice to retain the private options so you have the option to pay more for better/quicker service.
