The German Health Insurance is different from the US. In Germany, the people pay about 8 % of their GROSS earnings for this Health Insurance. There is GKV, which covers majority of Germans. It encourages those who make above a certain amount of money to pay for private insurance because they have enough money, and it is more flexible. People can pay extra for the ability to see more specialists. You do not have to pay a deductible either. In America, about 18% of income goes to paying for health care, which is way more than in Germany. Some cons within German Health Insurance include that fact that it does not cover long term care, and spouses have to get different insurance because they work for different places. American Health Insurance is trying to provide everyone with universal healthcare, but some people may or may not lose their insurance; or they may not get to keep their old insurance. Another big problem along with many others revolving around the healthcare issue is that people could not even sign up for it because websites prevented the task. The Affordable Care Act has a deadline as of tonight for people to sign up for healthcare. People uninsured through employers or Medicare/Medicaid will have to purchase private insurance. After tonight, one will see how many signed up in time along with how many will face fees for missing the deadline. The outlook for this care system is on private care profit and good, class-based, rationed insurance for majority of Americans. Many predict that by 2017 18% of Americans will have private insurance. Many also say that the aim of this ACA is to take away employer-based insurance. Regardless if down the road American Healthcare works out, right now it is at a shifting point at which nobody is happy with. This is probably the biggest con of American Healthcare right now is that it is a very messy process of adjustment and progress partnered with letdown.
