Germany Signals Major Health Insurance Reforms as Part of Wider Welfare Overhaul
Germany has announced that health insurance reform will form part of a broader overhaul of its welfare system. With rising healthcare costs, an ageing population, and increasing financial pressure on statutory health insurance, the government is preparing reforms aimed at improving the long-term sustainability of healthcare, pensions, and long-term care. While no new legislation was introduced in June 2026, more detailed proposals are expected later this year.
