Abstract

Das präsentierte und diskutierte Modell eines sozialgebundenen Krankenversicherungswettbewerbs zeigt zum Ersten, dass ein derartiges System an vielen Stellen vom Staat reguliert werden muss. Es ist deutlich komplizierter als die bislang in der Diskussion befindlichen Lehrbuchmodelle und die Reformvorschläge, die lediglich einem Agenda Setting dienen und notwendigerweise nur Prinzipien postulieren. Zum Zweiten zeigt sich, dass die Regulierungsnotwendigkeiten derart vielfältig und letztlich von Werturteilen abhängig sind, so dass eine Reform nicht allein aus einer medizinischen oder wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Rationalität heraus gestaltet werden kann. Insofern ist auch unser Vorschlag noch in hohem Maße diskussions- und damit ergänzungsbedürftig.
