Can the healthcare system still be saved?

Our healthcare system is under pressure – many feel this in their daily lives. By 2030, a complete overload and a serious social collapse threaten. Germany urgently needs a reorientation: away from expensive pills and towards prevention, health care, and health literacy. Ingo Froböse and Stefan Sauerzapf analyze with Andrea Galle, board member of mkk – meine krankenkasse, how this came about, and ask what a society can do that no longer considers health to be just an individual matter. Where are the levers – politically and in our own lives? Corinna Budras from F.A.Z. moderates the discussion on a topic that affects us all.

Ingo Froböse is an emeritus university professor for prevention and rehabilitation in sports at the German Sport University in Cologne. As a scientific advisor, he supports political committees and various health insurance companies in making health care future-proof. He regularly writes books on health, sports, and nutrition, some of which have become bestsellers.

Stefan Sauerzapf is a journalist and, together with Ingo Froböse, invented the "Sportschlau" section in the ARD morning magazine in 2008. With the founding of "fischimwasser," he leads the first think tank in Germany that combines scientific competencies in movement, nutrition, and regeneration with multimedia implementation expertise under one roof.

Corinna Budras, a lawyer and business journalist, currently reports as the economic correspondent for F.A.Z. from Berlin. She is a co-author of the non-fiction book "Wer hat an der Uhr gedreht?" and a regular host of the F.A.Z. podcast for Germany. Since August 2020, she has been working as an economic correspondent in Berlin.

Andrea Galle is the long-standing board member of mkk – meine krankenkasse (formerly BKK VBU). She has led the company with 540,000 insured individuals since its founding in 1993 and is considered one of the most prominent female leaders in statutory health insurance (GKV).
