Germany faces the prospect of some change

German citizens put health care second only to the economy and jobs as a priority for government, ahead of education, the environment and crime in a poll carried out for the Economist Intelligence Unit before last Sunday's election. Despite Germany’s relatively strong performance on various health indicators, just 38 per cent of Germans felt positive about the care they would receive if ill, far fewer than the other countries surveyed. After a deadlocked result four years ago, German voters remain split but there is a prospect of some change.
