Health Insurance Obligation as the Determinant of German Health Policy

Grzegorz Chałupczak



Abstract

This article tries to analyze the legislative solutions which influence the subjective scope of German health insurance; the health protection is one of its elements. The aim of the article is to show the importance of the insurance obligation against the risk of the disease in implementation of one of the basic targets of German health policy i.e. the generality of insurance. The indication of determinants and evaluation of accepted formal-legal solutions was in reference to some time caesuras. The analysis of the obligation of health insurance in the light of the provisions of the Act of health insurance of the workers from 1883 was the starting point. The analysis was later complemented with the synthesis of solutions accepted in Insurance Act of the Reich established in 1911. However, most attention was paid to the synthesis of modern state of the health protection within the subjective scope of insurance obligation against the risk of the disease whose current form is granted by the Fifth Book of German Social Security Code.
