Abstract
In case of an emergency, health insurance in Germany provides easy access to medical care in emergency departments. Over 100,000 people do not have health insurance for various reasons. They are repeatedly refused treatment in emergency rooms as their right to care outside of regular insurance is often unknown or ignored.
