Based on the principle of social welfare,social medical insurance system is the core of the German medical security system, which stresses that the German government is the one responsible for the medical health service rather than the free market. The German health insurance system features national regulation, market-oriented operation of medical insurance fund raising and expenditure, non-profit public organizations and private performance providers. Despite the existence of specificity in different areas, the basic framework of health security system is widespread in all areas of health care services and plays a very important role in supporting and protecting the economic and social development in Germany.
