Die 300-Milliarden-Euro-Frage – Perspektive für ein nachhaltiges Gesundheitssystem

Seit mehr als 20 Jahren sind die Ausgaben für das deutsche Gesundheitssystem stärker gewachsen als die Gesamtwirtschaft. Somit positioniert sich Deutschland im internationalen Vergleich als eines der Länder mit den höchsten Gesundheitskosten, aber ohne eine qualitativ überdurchschnittliche Versorgung. Sollte sich diese Entwicklung fortschreiben, werden die Gesundheitsausgaben bis 2040 um bis zu 80% (€ 300 Mrd.) wachsen.
