Higher earners in Germany can take out private health insurance (where they have to transfer the contributions, unlike the lower earners where it is deducted directly at the employer).
And ... now the insurance companies complain that 144,000 of their customers refuse to pay their contributions ...

Nach Angaben der Privaten Krankenversicherung zahlen immer mehr Mitglieder keine Beiträge, obwohl sie Anspruch auf Leistungen haben. "Es gab Ende September 2011 insgesamt 144.000 Nicht-Zahler in der Privaten Krankenversicherung", sagte Dirk Lullies, Sprecher beim Verband der Privaten Krankenversicherung (PKV), der "Welt".
Seit Einführung der allgemeinen Pflicht zur Versicherung im Jahr 2009 könnten private Krankenversicherungen ihren Kunden wegen Zahlungsrückständen jedoch nicht mehr kündigen. Der Zeitung zufolge fehlen den privaten Krankenkassen durch säumige Kunden seit Inkrafttreten der neuen Regelung rund 554 Millionen Euro.
Insgesamt sind in der PKV 8,9 Millionen Menschen voll krankenversichert. Bei Einführung der Versicherungspflicht 2009 wechselten viele Kunden, die bis zum damaligen Zeitpunkt unversichert waren, in eine private Krankenkasse. Zudem lockten viele Privatkassen mit billigen Einstiegstarifen. Experten machen beide Entwicklungen für die hohe Zahl der Nichtzahler mitverantwortlich.
Wie die "Welt" weiter berichtet, planen Bundesregierung und PKV die Einführung eines "Nichtzahler-Tarifs", der bei rund 100 Euro im Monat liegen soll und auf der Leistungsseite nur akute Krankheiten oder Schwangerschaften abdeckt. Die nötigen Änderungen würden derzeit vom Bundesfinanz- und Bundesjustizministerium vorbereitet. Die Gesetzentwürfe seien weitgehend fertig.
"Ziel der 'Nichtzahler-Tarife' ist es, den Anstieg der Beitragsrückstände abzumildern und die Versichertengemeinschaft zu entlasten", sagte Wiltrud Pekarek, Vorstandsmitglied der Halleschen Krankenversicherung und Leiterin einer brancheninternen Arbeitsgruppe zum Thema.
