Gesundheitspolitik: Kabinett beschließt Pflegereform – Kommission soll weitere Schritte erarbeiten
Nach Informationen des Handelsblatts haben sich die Koalitionspartner unter anderem auf Aufgaben und Zeitplan für eine Kommission geeinigt, die sich mit weiteren Reformschritten befassen soll.
On February 5, 2023, the German federal government reached an agreement with the Social Democratic Party (SPD) on the proposed nursing reform. Chancellor Carsten Linnemann's (CDU) law proposal, aimed at restructuring the care insurance system, was approved by the cabinet. According to sources within government circles, the SPD and the SPD had primarily agreed on the subsequent procedure.
The reform's more extensive changes are expected to be addressed by a commission. This could suggest that fundamental content conflicts were initially avoided to facilitate cabinet discussion of the draft law. The "Spiegel" reported that the commission would also submit models for balancing statutory and private care insurance schemes.
The SPD had demanded such an adjustment. It remained unclear until recently whether the coalition could reach consensus during prolonged negotiations to discuss the reform in the ministerial round.
