  Ok, the costs saving was promised by the populists Kurz and Strache. No further questions. Thanks for the link, tho! I am not saying Germany should merge all insurances into one, but I still think 100+ is one order of magnitude too much.

    Doesn't 100+ insurances mean more competition leading to better prices? OR so I'm told capitalism works.

      I am only talking about the statutory health insurance providers not the private ones. For the private ones you might be correct. The statutory ones, they have a catalogue of services, which they are required to pay for. While there are some minor differences between the providers, they all offer the same benefits essentially.
