Our findings were that it is a very interesting one to study for three reasons. Firstly, it is one of the oldest in the world, dating back to Bismarck, so they had plenty of experience to evaluate its pros and cons; secondly, it is quite decentralised and Länders share responsibilities with the central government for the management of health care facilities; thirdly, it does a good job of mixing public and private interests through a state-regulated health insurance health.

Three good reasons to check it out!
