| Sophies idea to do a little quizz at the end of her presentation was very refreshing. Funnily, today one of the presentators was missing. |

| Next time, we will hear about the social wellfare systems of UK and US. The concept "Krankenkassa", which has been introduced by some Monarch a while ago to take away the workers arguments pro social democrats, is actually something Germany had earlier than Austria. |

+++ Austria |
| |
|
| |
Notes from Mr. Gauster-Filek. Austria has universal health insurance called Krankenkassa. It is mandatory / required. But what are the benefits compared to private / personal health insurances? |
| |
|
| |
**Who is covered?** Everyone who works or is retired after working. But students over age are not covered by parents. |
| |
|
| |
In UK, everyone is covered. Even tourists! |
| |
|
| |
Private insurance is based on age. |
| |
|
| |
Btw. Swizzerland doesn't have universal health insurance either. |
| |
|
| |
**Advantages** It's affordable, there are few people who are uninsured. Almost 100 percent are covered. |
| |
|
| |
The problem: Our society is getting older, we spend more on health insurance. |
| |
|
| |
The WGKK has a big deficit, the government workers (BVA) have a small profit. Everyone pays the same, whether healthy or not. |
| |
|
| |
Not covered: Tourists, asylum seekers |
| |
|
| |
**Disadvantages** private health, cost based on certain criterias / factors (age and health) most health insurances will exclude pre-existing conditions. |
| |
|
| |
Diabetes: one of the worst health problems imaginable. |
| |
|
| |
National: Big pool, everyone takes out and put in, cost stable |
| |
|
| |
Private: Profit oriented, cost going up |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
**What helps in Austria** |
| |
|
| |
* public housing: elderly in need go there |
| |
* public nursing home: you need attention (medical care, ...) |
