Health Care System of Elderly in Germany

The elderly population is one of the most vulnerable populations in the world of health care, mainly because of their susceptibility to contracting disease, limited access to health care insurance, limited or non-existent access to long-term care insurance, and/or reduced quality of life. In Germany, the majority of the population, including the elderly is funded by a public health care insurance system. Only employees who have an income above a cutoff point and certain other groups have the option of purchasing private insurance. (The option of not having any insurance coverage was dropped in 2009.) For the most part, Germany raises money for this health system through statutory welfare contributions.
== Increase in elderly population ==
As a result of longevity and low fertility rates, the elderly population (age 75 and older) in Germany has increased dramatically over the years, and is predicted to increase from 7% of the total population in the last century to over 10% by 2020.〔Dallinger, Ursula. "Elderly care in the family in Germany". University of Jena, 2012〕 The population in need of care is expected to increase from over a thousand million to over 2 thousand million people in 2020, which is about 2% of the population in Germany. 70% of the people, which is elderly and in need of care, lives in private households, with a family member being the main caregiver in 80% of these households; daughters and daughters in law being the main caregivers.〔 The continual increase in the elderly population in Germany signifies that there will be a greater need for health care services to be provided to the elderly, notably long-term care services. This increased need places the elderly in a vulnerable position because of the potential of funds not meeting all their needs.
