Great news for the ultra rich. Now they can finally get their 5th yacht. Why don’t they cut even more benefits for us? so the poor billionaires can be happy

“From 2028, spouses without their own source of income who are currently insured free of charge, will have pay a flat rate of 3.5% of their spouse’s income. This will be lower for low and middle-income earners and includes exemptions for those caring for children under seven, parents of children with disabilities, caregivers and pensioners.”
Dear Government,
all of you have to be fired for disresponsibility and outmost inability to be a goverment.

I legit opened the article with a very slight hope that it will be a cut on contributions, but of course not – it is cut on services we be getting from those already crazy-high contributions.

What the actual hell, how can this make Germany attractive to anyone who wants to come for a living and working, if you keep milking the people. First of all I am sure, I wont get any Rente and above all this I pay lot of taxes and now health insurance is more expensive every 2nd month

When the chairman of the Health Insurance Funds welcomes an announcement of the Health Minister, you can be sure the public will pay the bill.

Second opinion on hips replacement…yeah sure. How cynical the system here became, hard to believe.

Spoiler: this won’t solve the problem, and it’s just a temporary fix to avoid real reforms that could actually help. The fact is that the German population is aging, and retirees pay much less into the system while taking two to four times more than younger people, which is obviously understandable. So instead of thinking about how not to postpone the issue and make everything worse, they’ve decided to put the burden on the working class once again. I don’t know how they wanna attract people to come to Germany, but it looks less and less attractive for skilled people.

I love that we have to continue paying more and more only for the actual services to continue getting worse. Genuinely the most impolite and impractical medical care to cost ratio out there.

So we cannot go to the Hausarzt for “emergencies that are not emergencies” anymore?

Basically for spouses who can’t work have to pay 3.5% of their family income. Terrible news to all employees whose spouses don’t work.

It’s plunder but don’t worry – there is an endless supply of “tja” copium for the population to keep going.

3yrs immigrant here, have been paying 1000s every month to insurance + pension. But no access to doctors when in need. It’s an interesting system going on in here.

More cuts, no actual reform. Never break an already broken system.

I’m not giving the German society many more opportunities to demonstrate that they are still alive and start organising and show resistance against this attack to our well being. The streets must burn.

fuck you and goodby (not the OP, of course). I think Germany will be much better off without me. fuck these thieves. with 60k and canceling of Ehegattensplittung we computed and wouldn’t be able to afford the basic things even on top of the rent, other contributions and food. I simply can’t afford to live in Germany anymore. thank you, Nina w*rken. and goodbye. I will be much better off somewhere else. and fuck you

How about making government workers pay some tax instead of screwing us around -.-

What about making the public health insurance contribution mandatory for everyone, Including the high earners?! And then have the private insurance as an optional addition for everyone.
Just like any other country with a public health insurance system.
Is it really that hard?
But no, let’s leave the reach people alone and keep shitting on the poor workers.
Unbelievable

Not touching private insurance again, don’t we Merzelchen? *wink wink*

Health insurance should be provided by the private sector. Why is the government involved in hospital bills? Take government out of every aspect of life.
When it’s free market, then the Health insurance companies have to compete with each other to attract more customers. The result is that they reduce their prices. Who wins? The customers. Free market is always the best for customers.

Gonna be pretty interesting to see how much further the german health system can be cut back before it finally completely collapses into itself. Broke my foot 3 months ago and the doctor who was supposed to talk to me after surgery simply didn’t show up because he was too exhausted. While this is of course unprofessional it’s not like I don’t believe him but if this is already our current standard how much more abyssmal is it going to get now?
Well… I congratulate the CDU’s over 60 year old main voter base for once again voting against their own interests (as always).
