Determinants of willingness to pay for health insurance in later stages of the Covid-19 pandemic: findings based on the general adult population in Germany

In contrast to health- and coronavirus-related factors, socioeconomic and political spectrum-related factors were significantly associated with WTP for health insurance in Germany. Moreover, based on the average WTP, one can conclude that individuals do not fully agree with the present contributions to statutory health insurance in Germany as a whole during the Covid-19 pandemic. Future research could focus on cross-country comparisons (with varying healthcare systems and also between individualistic and collectivistic cultures).
