Beveridge model
The Beveridge model is a tax-financed health system which, according to the welfare model , includes the entire population in the coverage.
It is attributed to William Henry Beveridge , a member of the Liberal faction in the British Parliament in the 1940s. The model can be understood as the orientation of the welfare state towards needs-based justice in the sense of standardized minimum requirements.
The British National Health Service provides similar to z. For example, in Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Norway or Italy, health services are not provided by freelance doctors, but as benefits in kind and flat-rate cash benefits free of charge for the insured person by government agencies.
The German insurance model, on the other hand, only includes the legally determined group of people in need of protection in statutory health insurance (Sections 5 to 10 of the Social Code Book V). The contributions are related to earnings up to the contribution ceiling to be paid. The amount of compensation benefits such as sick pay is also related to the last income earned.
