Will health insurance contributions increase in 2021?

The extra expenses of German health insurances will rise to approximately 16 billion in the next year, which will probably affect the additional dues paid by health insurants.

[Translate to Englisch:]

The German Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds (GKV) expect the Corona crisis to result in a financial gap of roughly 16 billion Euros for the GKV. To close this gap in the healthcare fund, the BMG suggests using 8 billion Euros of reserves from the health insurances and 5 billion Euro contributions from the federal government. The rest is supposed to be balanced by an increase of additional contributions to the health insurance share of about 0,2%, paid by the insurants.
