Press release No. 365 of 15 September 2020
WIESBADEN – In 2019, roughly 61,000 people in Germany (grossed) had neither health insurance nor any other entitlement to health care. The number of people without health insurance was down by 23% on 2015, when the figure was roughly 79,000. This means that less than 0.1% of the total population of Germany had no health insurance. This is reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) based on the four-yearly additional programme on ”Health insurance data” of the microcensus, the largest annual household survey in Germany and Europe.
