Federal Council to Decide on Increased Nursing Insurance Contribution Amidst Financial Crisis

As the number of people requiring care rises, the Federal Council of Germany is set to vote on a proposed increase to the nursing insurance contribution. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach warns that without this increase, some insurance funds may face insolvency. Despite this immediate solution, experts stress that a comprehensive reform of the nursing insurance system remains necessary. The number of care recipients has significantly increased over the years, leading to higher costs that are often not fully covered by current funding. Discussions on further reforms and financial support continue among political parties.
