More than a million Finns have private health insurance as premiums rise

Over one million Finns currently hold private health insurance, but rising premiums and increasing payouts by insurers are prompting some to reconsider their coverage, reports Finnish public broadcaster Yle.

Insurance companies have reported growing compensation claims, while policyholders face steeply rising costs. The trend has left many questioning whether maintaining private health insurance remains worthwhile.

Yle has invited readers to share their experiences with health insurance, including whether they plan to continue or cancel their policies.
