Instead of a care reform, the federal government only manages to implement massive cuts for those in need of care and their relatives.

The federal cabinet today adopted the #CareReform. In order not to further escalate the ongoing dispute in the governing coalition, criticism points and fundamental reform projects were initially ignored. These will be clarified by a commission. The consequence: contributors will have to shoulder significantly higher burdens. In this context, the health policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, @martin_sichert, states: "The spousal co-insurance will become more expensive in the future, childless individuals will pay more and the contribution assessment limit will rise. All of this burdens the providers of performance in our society. It is a disgrace for the government of Chancellor Merz and Health Minister Linnemann that their central action is limited to taking more and more money from the citizens to temporarily save the fundamentally reform-needy long-term care insurance from financial ruin. And of course, a commission will also be tasked again to bring about further burdens for the citizens, such as higher burdens for privately insured individuals. The contribution rate for statutory long-term care insurance has been rising for years, and the money still does not reach sufficient levels. There are no genuine reforms. Where is the radical reduction of bureaucracy? Where is the strengthening of home care? The long-term care insurance system needs fundamental reform, just like the entire healthcare sector. The AfD parliamentary group has already submitted extensive concepts that encompass not only care but also health insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, therapists, and all other service providers. We therefore once again call on the federal government not to stand in the way of a fundamental health and care reform." #Pflegereform #Gesundheit #Politik (translated)
