I'll admit that my tinfoil hat is stapled on 24/7 anymore, but what is there to say that insurance industry folks won't just get some kind of kickbacks from someone else (for example, big med/pharma) to hide the useful aspects of their data? Are there some "standard" reports that they can't fudge numbers on?
I dunno how it is in Germany exactly, but in the US you can just imagine the long term payouts for a terminal heart disease.
Between hospital visits, surgery, medicine, etc, across a few hundred thousand people and you're looking at hundreds of millions in yearly charges incurred by the insurance companies.
Let’s just say that a bailout for the insurance industry is not something that will go unnoticed. The government will have to hide it inside of a multi-trillion dollar package, and none of those are going to be passing again for a while.

Those are some big kickbacks you're talking about.
I'm entirely out of my depth. Is insurance the larger entity?
