Moving Towards more Sustainable Healthcare Financing in Germany

Nicola Brandt

The aim of the recent healthcare reform was to increase the sustainability of healthcare finances, by reducing its negative impact on employment and increasing cost-effectiveness via enhanced competition. Higher budget contributions will help decouple healthcare finances from labour income a bit, if and once they materialise. An improved risk adjustment between insurers could reduce incentives for risk selection, raising chances for competition to lead to more cost-effectiveness instead. However, the segmentation of the healthcare system in a private and a social insurance market will continue to pose equity and efficiency problems. Owing to its design, the price signal in the new financing system for social health insurance will be both weak and distorted and this will need to be corrected for competition to produce desired results. More freedom for contractual relations between insurers, healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies could help to better reap the benefits of competition, but the government will need to watch the results closely and adjust framework conditions if needed. Perenniser le financement des depenses de sante en Allemagne La reforme recente du secteur de la sante vise a assurer un financement plus viable des depenses de sante en reduisant leurs effets negatifs sur l’emploi et en ameliorant leur efficacite economique grâce a une concurrence accrue. Si l’augmentation prevue des contributions budgetaires se materialise, elle permettra un certain decouplage entre le financement du secteur de la sante et les revenus du travail. Une meilleure repartition des risques entre les assureurs pourrait reduire la tendance a une selection des risques, si bien que la concurrence pourrait en fait conduire a une plus grande efficacite economique. Cela etant, la segmentation du systeme de sante dans un marche ou cohabitent assurance privee et assurance publique continuera de poser des problemes d’equite et d’efficacite. Par sa conception meme, le nouveau systeme de financement de l’assurance maladie publique limite et fausse les signaux transmis par les prix ; il faudra donc remedier a ce probleme pour permettre a la concurrence de produire les resultats souhaites. Une plus grande liberte des relations contractuelles entre assureurs, prestataires de soins et laboratoires pharmaceutiques permettrait sans doute de tirer un meilleur parti de la concurrence, mais les autorites devront faire preuve de vigilance et adapter les conditions cadres le cas echeant.
