The focus on hospital reform: AOK boss warns of loss of quality

In a shocking turn in German health policy, a dispute over the hospital reform is raging! This reform is the answer to urgent quality problems and inefficient structures in the German health system, but the implementation of the necessary changes is a real wire rope act.

Yesterday the cabinet adopted a explosive contrast to the Hospital Supply Bestling Act (KHVVVG). Dr. Carola Reimann, the strong voice of the AOK federal association, did not leave good hair in the current situation: "We can no longer afford the current quality deficits. The hospital reform is inevitable, but implementation must be done correctly, nothing else happens!"

dispute over financing

But that's not all! The pain point? The financing of structural redevelopment - a true tragedy! Dr. Reimann warns that as long as the countries do not cooperate, the victims will be the legally insured. The federal government plans that the GKV contribution payers should cover half of the costs for the transformation of the hospital landscape. An unsustainable condition!

The federal government remains strictly: "We do not contribute to it!", This sentence has caused massive outrage among the countries. The Federal Minister of Health has spoken out, but his promises not to increase the contribution rates could soon turn out to be empty hope.

criticism of the planned solution

The Federal Audit Office has an urgent criticized the machinations of the government! The misuse of the premiums to finance the hospital structures is a scandal! "The statutory health insurance companies are not responsible for this," said the clear announcement of the examiners. These costs must not simply be passed on to the paying payments - this is not only unjust, but could also lead to dramatic consequences!

The dispute over the financing extends to the innermost of the reform plans, and the resistance of the federal states could endanger a comprehensive modernization of hospitals. Dr. Reimann closes the appeal with an urgent request: "We need a sustainable, case -independent financing through a special fund. This is the only way to ensure the ideal patient care!"

The question remains: How long will this writing on the hospital reform continue? The statutory health insurance companies are in front of a mountain full of problems, and time is pushing. The future of medical care in Germany hangs on the silk thread!
