an outcry from the health world: On today's “GKV day”, the alarming situation of prevention is put into the spotlight! Dr. Carola Reimann, the CEO of the AOK federal association, raises the alarm! The federal government is planning massive cuts in the proven prevention courses of the statutory health insurance companies. But what does that mean for the health of the Germans?

This threat comes from the ominous “Healthy Heart Act”, which endangers the financing of over 110,000 certified courses. From movement and healthy nutrition to coping with stress and addiction - everything is on the brink! Dr. Reimann is horrified: "There is no fame for prevention - there is no glory in prevention." A quote that accompanied us through the Corona pandemic, but now also fits exactly in the current situation!

cuts with far -reaching consequences

instead of promoting healthy ways of life, health policy flows to a risky course. The agreed funds that are intended to finance essential courses should suddenly be used for additional medication and medical services. This is not just paradoxical, but catastrophic. How should medical prevention recommendations be only successful if the necessary offers are simply missing?

  • around 110,000 courses are put in danger!
  • The causes of the disease burden are ignored!
  • The focus is far too strong on preventive medicine!

dr. Reimann demands a rethink: "We urgently need measures to reduce the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food!" There is no question that primary prevention must be at the forefront. It is important to create healthy living conditions and to sensitize the society for health -conscious decisions.

responsibility for society as a whole

Prevention can not only be the task of the health insurance companies, it must affect all of us! From child protection in food advertising to movement -friendly municipalities - it is high time that we sharpen our health awareness!

The future of our health is at stake! Dr. Reimann leaves no doubt that primary prevention cannot simply be replaced by preventive medicine. Health policy must act now before it is too late!

Berlin stands still - will the government take the warning seriously? The answer to this could have surprising consequences for millions of people!
