Have to share the opposite example here:

- I made an appointment online for sports medicine. Doctor says I need an xray - I go across the street and provide my insurance card, all digital. Go back to the doctors office and he's got it on his computer already

- All contract with insurance (TK) is digital and per app

- Probably only applies in big cities, but in Berlin I have 1Gbps internet for 30 euro a month



TK works well (and I like it), but it's an exception in Germany. Most things are really analogue. Less than a year ago you still had to get a printed sick note.

The price of internet also seems to be a kind of promotion, with 1Gps costing twice as much on average.


The fact that our experiences are not the same should tell us something.
