See below Explanation: Pflichtversicherung is obligatory insurance whereas Versicherungspflicht is either the obgligation to insure (or be insured) or compulsory coverage. One way to look at it is that Pflichtversicherung is something you can buy whereas Versicherungspflicht is something you must fulfill. Hope this helps shed some light. And remember, Mondays can only get better! Will |

see below Explanation: Just want to agree with Will, more or less. The Pflichtversicherung is an insurance program offered by the state that everyone must pay into and be covered by. The other concept, Versicherungspflicht, is that everyone is required by the state to be adequately insured, but where or with whom is left open. With the concept of Versicherungspflicht, there might also be a state insurance program offered but private insurers could compete and the persons who are required to insure themselves could choose between various alternatives. |

see below Explanation: The Romain dictionary gives the following terms for Pflichtversicherung: Compulsory insurance (scheme), Obligatory insurance, Statutory insurance For Versicherungspflicht they give you: Compulsory coverage, Obligation (or duty) to insure Insurance liablity (but I don't hink this is what you want in this case) Best of luck, Anita |
