I‘m assuming the German government wouldn’t be able to compel them to turn over their private key, but they could certainly make it very clear that they would jeopardise any future contracts if they refused to cooperate.

  What's corr^w?

    Ctrl-W in certain contexts (especially shells) deletes the previous word. Shells vary in their behavior, but in this situation partOfAWor^w is essentially the same as using strike through. It implies the writer started writing a word and changed their mind on which word to use. In this case, they're implying lobbying and corruption are one and the same, as far as I can tell.

there is somebody in the chain of command who benefits of that deal and will do what she can to keep it as inefficient as it is.

It is a little more problematic than that: The Gematik GmbH is in part managed (owned?) by the German ministry of health [0] and some health organizations like the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Agencies. That says something about the 'risks' the Gematik takes (Hint: none). Similar story: Earlier this year some health card readers, certified by the Gematik had a bug. They wouldn't read certain cards that supposedly were electrostatically charged. The solution was a grounding device connected to the USB port of the card reader. [1] This thingy cost the doctor's practices another 100 bucks even though this clearly is a design flaw by the manufacturer. They can do pretty much what they want at this point and the physicians and hospitals just have to cough up the dough.
