Germany's Coalition Considers Abolishing Care Level 1 in Long-Term Care Insurance
The German government's coalition of CDU/CSU and SPD is considering a controversial move to abolish health insurance level 1 in long-term care. This decision has sparked sharp criticism from social associations and those directly affected.
The proposed abolition aims to tackle a financing issue plaguing care funds. However, the problem remains unsolved, raising concerns about the impact on those with mild impairments.
Currently, households that may not necessarily require it also benefit from the funds allocated to care level 1. The government's plan to remove this level has been met with resistance, with the employee union of the CDU open to discussing a change in the current regulation.
The potential abolition of care level 1 in Germany's long-term care insurance system is a contentious issue. While it aims to address financial concerns, it also risks leaving those with mild impairments without necessary support. The government must navigate these challenges carefully to ensure fairness and adequacy in care provision.
