TheGoodBroker is an independent, English-speaking health insurance broker helping expats in Germany navigate the choice between public (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurance. Founded by Jonas Marx — a licensed Versicherungsmakler (§34d GewO) — the service has been running since 2018 and has advised over 900 English-speaking clients across Germany.
Unlike insurance comparison websites or tied agents, TheGoodBroker works independently. They compare 33 insurers without commission bias and give advice based on your actual situation: salary, health history, family setup, career path, and long-term plans in Germany — not just what looks good on paper.

- Public vs. private health insurance comparison in plain English
