Einkommensabhängiger Zusatzbeitrag in der GKV: Verteilungs- und Anreizwirkungen
Since 2011 German health insurance funds have had to raise additional lump-sum contributions from members in case of insufficient allotment from the central health funds. The new German government plans to replace the lump-sum contributions with wage-related ones. Despite its contrary intentions, we argue that this reform would actually hurt poor members of health insurance funds and decrease their market power. Due to this reform and the well-known relationship between income and health, health insurances funds will increase their adverse competition for higher income households.
