Despite the reform to stabilize the nursing care insurance, which is intended to burden high earners and childless individuals more, the health insurance companies warn of a remaining deficit of over one billion euros by 2027. #Pflegeversicherung #Reform #Finanzierung (translated)

The enemies of the savings book wrote that people with low to middle incomes paid monthly into pension and long-term care insurance and were worse off in old age than people who had never worked. The politicians referred to this as social justice. #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Rente #Pflegeversicherung (translated)

Our house was built during the GDR era – today we have to protect it from the state. Dear boomers, the Federal Republic of Germany has reached the socialist end stage. Those who pay nothing naturally get everything. And those who finance the whole thing are now supposed to give up their savings or even their house before they get anything from this so-called nursing insurance? What a mockery. My advice: Waste your wealth or give your children the properties "with warm hands." But don't hesitate, because the nursing fund has a 10-year deadline! After that, the property is secure. Fortunately, everything is already in safe hands for us – the house remains in the family, come what may! Did you know about this 10-year deadline?

The care committee has been tasked with developing concrete proposals for a structural reform of long-term care insurance by the end of January 2027, while the SPD proposal to cap the out-of-pocket expenses for care costs in nursing homes was rejected by Health Minister Linnemann as not worthy of consideration. #Pflegekommission #Pflegereform #Pflegeversicherung (translated)

Whether parental allowance, health insurance, long-term care insurance, or income tax. All so-called "reforms" of the government have the following characteristics: > For people who work, benefits are reduced or contributions increased > For people who do not work, nothing changes This cannot go on for long. #SozialeGerechtigkeit #Wirtschaft #Reformen (translated)

The federal government has agreed on the Reorganization of Care Law to stabilize the financing of the care system, with childless individuals having to pay higher contributions and further reforms in care needs assessment and acute care being announced. #Pflegereform #Pflegeversicherung #Gesundheitspolitik (translated)

An employee earns 80,000 euros gross per year. The woman does not work. The couple has no children. Contribution to long-term care insurance: Current: 139.50 euros per month After the reform: 205.28 euros per month 65 euros less net per month. In addition, there are the employer's contributions. These also belong to the labor costs of the employee. #Pflegeversicherung #Lohnkosten #Reform (translated)

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)

The government has today decided on changes to long-term care insurance: > Contribution rate remains at 3.6% > Childless individuals pay 0.3% points more > Contribution assessment limit increases by 300 euros > Non-working insured spouses will now pay a surcharge of 0.52% points What does this mean for those affected? Let's calculate it: #Pflegeversicherung #Gesundheit #Sozialpolitik (translated)

The federal cabinet has approved the draft law from Health Minister Carsten Linnemann for reforming the long-term care insurance, which among other things stipulates that members without children will have to pay higher contributions starting January 1, 2027. #Pflegereform #Gesundheitsministerium #Pflegeversicherung (translated)

The federal government has decided on a small solution for the care reform after long negotiations between the Union and the SPD, in order to reorganize the statutory long-term care insurance while simultaneously preventing rising contributions. #Pflegereform #Pflegeversicherung #SPD (translated)

"Wenn man strukturelle Änderungen in der Pflegeversicherung will, muss man diese auf eine solide finanzielle Grundlage stellen"Linnemann hat die SPD-Forderung eines Finanzausgleichs zwischen privater und sozialer Pflegeversicherung indes zurückgewiesen. #Pflegereform #SPD #Sozialverbände
