as most europeans have access to public sector provision either through their mandatory social insurance fund or through taxes, private healthcare insurance remains a relatively small market, with levels typically in the range of 2–8% of the population. many consumers prefer to pay single fees as and when necessary. in addition, any occupational healthcare paid for by employers renders private healthcare insurance unnecessary. nonetheless, around 10% of germans have some form of private healthcare insurance which enables them to experience a slightly higher level of comfort during hospital stays. the most notable development in this area has been the netherlands, which in 2005 moved to a system whereby all citizens are forced to take out private healthcare insurance rather than social insurance. this is being closely monitored by many european countries.
