How do I get health insurance in Germany if I'm unemployed?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 117 views

Even if you're unemployed, having health insurance is mandatory in Germany. You can become a voluntary member of a public health insurance provider like TK or AOK. The amount you pay for your premiums is determined by your income situation; if you have no income, a lower base rate applies. You should contact your chosen insurance provider directly to find out the current premium amounts.
