insurance is carried out by private insurance companies, but is still a
social insurance).
Total financing
Government
All payments of care providers by all institutional units of central,
state or local government.

deductibles (a fixed amount which must be paid for a service before any
payment of benefits can take place), or in the form paying the remainder
of the cost of a service after the insurance has paid for the service.
However, cost-sharing in the AWBZ and the Health Insurance Act is

not taken into account in the figures as presented as Out-of-pocket
