  "account": "German Health Minister Carsten Linnemann plans a comprehensive nursing care reform and wants to set up an expert commission to achieve this. He believes the current care system is not sustainable and will collapse in the 2030s if not fundamentally rebuilt. The commission, dubbed a \"structure commission\", aims to provide proposals for a structural reform next year. The coalition is already working on a reform to address an expected 8 billion euro deficit in nursing care insurance in 2027. Linnemann is negotiating a plan with the aim of reaching a cabinet decision in September.",
  "summary": "The nursing care insurance is in chronic financial difficulties, but many people in need of care are also. The new minister is aiming for greater changes after acute stabilization - with advice from experts.",
