Health policy in the downward trend: traffic light coalition in the crossfire of criticism

Berlin (ots)

In a clear settlement with the traffic light coalition, voters in Thuringia and Saxony have set a strong sign by not only withdrawing political responsibility, but also trust. The SPD just managed to get to the state parliament while the Greens and the FDP stay behind the expectations. According to the expert in health and social policy Frank Rudolph, this election outcome is a direct consequence of different defects in political leadership, especially in the area of ​​health care. Rudolph not only names the conflicts and the perceived inability to solve pressing problems, but also recognizes that the concerns of the population are not adequately observed about health policy.

Dissatisfaction with the health system is firmly anchored in the minds of the citizens. In particular, the increasing care costs and the persistent shortage of doctors take care of many people. The survey of the Institute for Demoscopy Allensbach proves a significant decline in trust in medical care, which is shown in a dramatic postponement of the respondents. Fewer and fewer people feel comfortable with the quality of health care, which potentially represents a creeping erosion of the base of support for the traffic light parties.

worries about medical care

Another alarming key figure: 38 percent of those surveyed in the Allensbach survey are now concerned about concerned concerns about the lack of doctors, a problem that is serious in rural regions and especially in East Germany. The decline in the proportion of those who are satisfied with medical care, from 81 to 67 percent within just two years, is a clear sign that citizens see the health policy of the traffic lights critically.

On the political stage, a comparison of ignorance and political failure becomes clear. It seems as if the traffic light government in the slipstream of large -scale conflicts about migration and social issues tries to distract attention from its own ineffectiveness. This ignorance is rooted in the argument of the traffic lights and makes it difficult for voters to find trust in a positive change.

Tart criticism of Lauterbach's reforms

Frank Rudolph emphasizes that the traffic light government has failed with its uncoordinated reform approach and the ignorance of practical problems. As a result, numerous bills, including an urgent hospital reform, could not be decided. The demands of the federal states to take into account their concerns have largely been ignored, which underlines the need for a solid strategy that can only be realized in the future.

In addition, leading government experts and representatives of the government accuse pure actionism instead of developing a well thought -out and strategic health policy. Lauterbach's approach is primarily seen as populist by providing his ideas of health and medical care about the well -being of the patients. The inability to deal with the actual interests of the citizens and tackle the great challenges of healthcare has caused great resentment in public.

The stately means for the transformation of the healthcare system are increasingly treated by the traffic light government. Lauterbach is already facing an enormous increase in contributions for statutory health insurance companies, which triggers massive fears and concerns about future medical care among citizens. With the lack of administration in health care, many fear that a health system that is not optimally conducted could put a strain on society, which is also reflected in the election behavior.

The increase in contributions by health insurance companies is a clear indication that the traffic light government cannot comply with the commitments that it once gave the voters. Instead, there is a risk of performance cuts and longer waiting times, which is ultimately reflected in a perceived overload of the system.

summarized it is clear that the traffic light coalition in its current form is faced with immense challenges. The concerns of the citizens are growing through health and social care, and at the same time the basic changes that would be necessary to improve the situation are only hesitant.
