I'll second this. I've never gotten health here but have looked into it twice, both times with Matt. He was very helpful in pointing out different options and was very patient. I have my auto with him and am very happy.

Matt, if you read this I may still one day go with the health.

Yes, I recommend AA insurance brokers. They will give you lots of info and comparisons depending on your requirements and you won’t be paying any extra buy going through them.

I’m in the same position as migrant, have other insurance with them but still deciding on health.

In my own opinion you will struggle to find anything that is of good value.

Insurance--the names are incorrect. Life insurance is really Death Insurance, it pays out when you die. Health Insurance is really Illness insurance it pays put when you are ill.

The health care system in Germany is based on four basic principles: Compulsory insurance: Everyone must have statutory health insurance ("gesetzliche Krankenversicherung" – GKV) provided that their gross earnings are under a fixed limit ("Versicherungspflichtgrenze").

I love those long German words.

But we have stupid politicans... the illnessinsurances for normal people make billions profit and store it in the accounts, instead of paying better salary to nurses. At least no nurses want to work in the hospitals and that who do, are working double duty and getting burnout.

If this is going on, the insurances have money to finance the gouvernment one year but in the hospitals and in the home for elder people’s, we will have same conditions than in Thailands public hospitals.

Not strictly correct:
Insurance is defined as an arrangement, in which the insurer commits to indemnify the loss or damage caused to the insured due to natural calamity or any other event whose happening is not certain, for special consideration.
Assurance refers to the agreement in which the insurer provides cover of an event, which will happen sooner or later, such as death.
