  "account": "Berlin – The federal coalition was set to approve the nursing reform on Wednesday, but the SPD's opposition to the measures is creating uncertainty. SPD faction leader Matthias Miersch stated that a pure cutback package was not acceptable for the SPD's Bundestag faction. SPD General Secretary Tim Klüssendorf also criticized the reform plans recently. Union government circles expressed frustration on Monday over the sudden SPD opposition, describing it as inexplicable and orchestrated. The reform proposals had been discussed in far more than 50 meetings between the federal and state nursing work group. This opposition adds a challenge to an already difficult reform, as little time remains for the coalition. According to the Bundesgesundheitsministerium, the nursing insurance is expected to face a deficit of eight billion euros next year. The reform is meant to plug the financial gap in the short term, with a commission to follow up with proposals for long-term structural reforms.",
  "summary": "Die SPD blockiert die Pflegereform. Sie will die Kosten deckeln und Privatversicherte einbeziehen – was teuer werden könnte, sagen Ökonomen. Und den Koalitionspartner verärgert.",
