  "account": "The German Nursing Council has urged the coalition government to comprehensively revise its plans for a nursing reform. The council's president, Christine Vogler, criticized the increased hurdles for accessing care levels and the planned abolition of the relief amount for care level 1. Vogler also expressed concerns about the proposed multi-year suspension of tariff loyalty and limitations on financing future wage increases for nursing professionals. The coalition is currently disputing the reform package, with Federal Health Minister Carsten Linnemann planning to bring a bill to cabinet on Wednesday to stabilize the finances of statutory nursing insurance. The SPD is threatening to block Linnemann's plans, rejecting a \"pure austerity package\".",
  "summary": "The German Nursing Council sees significant problems in the coalition's reform plans - especially for those in need of care and caregivers. What the association is specifically calling for.",
