  "account": "The German government is set to discuss a nursing care reform, but disagreements between the Union and SPD parties remain. Health Minister Carsten Linnemann's draft bill aims to prevent further contribution increases in nursing care next year, but the SPD rejects it as a \"pure austerity package\". The SPD wants structural changes, including a possible cap on care home costs, which the Union finds hard to accept. The bill may not be discussed by the cabinet as planned on Wednesday, with further negotiations expected.",
  "summary": "Until the end, the Union and SPD were still negotiating the planned nursing care reform. The pressure to act is high. The government wants to prevent further increases in contributions.",
