If I'm applying to a language course visa in Germany, can I get a public health insurance or just a private one? (I'm 34 years old)

[@SheCan]

Private insurance would be cheaper option for you. They don’t allow public insurance for students over 30

currently i am a student in my last semester and just turned 30. i am having public helth insurence now. but recently i got letter saying i cant have student benifits anymore and i have to pay minimum of 226 euros/month if unemployeed.i dont have that much amount to pay now. i dont know if i can switch to private for a semester. is there such possibility? and if yes, how easy is it to switch back again to public?

Switching to Private is easy and yes you can opt for private for a semester.
You can switch back to Public once you find a full time employment, it is pretty easy and your employer can also apply for you. For student, check out Mawista insurance, they also offer insurance during your job seeking time
