High-quality care through a competitive health care system with solidarity-based financing: In a prospering and individualized society health becomes one of the main future topics. The public authorities rely on an active health policy which involves all the decision-making levels of the countries from the federal government and the European Union. They establish a public financing on solidarity principles and create a framework for more competition. The health care system guarantees high-quality basic medical care and coverage, whereby the service provision takes place increasingly as part of diverse and integrated care models. At the same time, health has become a global growth market where companies position themselves successfully and where the German health care has become attractive for foreign patients.
