The Netflix miniseries “Maid,” produced by John Wells Has garnered a lot of attention since its release in October 2021. The series, based on the best-selling memoir “Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive” based by Stephanie Land, follows a young mother named Alex who, after a relationship crisis and a financial crunch, works as a cleaner to keep herself and her daughter afloat.

What makes the series special is not only the story told, but also the way it is presented. The series uses unique visual storytelling to bring Alex’s story and other characters to life. A wide range of images and symbols are used to advance the plot and express the characters’ emotions.

The German health care system is considered by many to be exemplary, but there are also points of criticism. One of them is that health insurance companies discriminate against the elderly and the sick.

Although the statutory health insurance companies have the obligation to treat all insured persons equally, the elderly and sick in particular often experience difficulties in the provision of healthcare.
