Through social security programs, the state protects its citizens against risks such as the need for long-term care, unemployment or illness. The social security programs are based on two main principles and the five so-called branches of the social security system.

The German health insurance system consists of both public (GKV) and private health insurance (PKV).

Private health insurance is subject to special regulations that are tied to a fixed minimum income. In contrast, anyone can take out public health insurance.
