Nursing insurance: SOVD calls for repayment instead of premium increase

In a gripping appeal, the Social Association of Germany (SOVD) raises serious allegations against the federal government! Since Corona pandemic, refinancing the financial resources from the social nursing insurance compensation fund has been on the agenda-and is urgently required!

The latest report of the DAK Health underlines the explosive situation: the funds of the long -term care funds used at that time were misused for other purposes! "We cannot simply go to the agenda, while those in need of care and their relatives are dependent on support," explains the CEO Michaela Engelmeier with emphasis.

billions are missing - repayment instead of premium increase!

The fact that around six billion euros in misuse of nursing care insurance is still sensational is sensational that nursing care insurance is still used on unpleasant accounts! Engelmeier sums it up: "These billions are urgently needed for the services of those in need of care!" It cannot be that the federal government is holding the hand in the nursing contributions without first setting their own debts.

But the pressure on long -term care insurance grows: For 2024, the top association of statutory health insurance expects a deficiency of over 1.5 billion euros, and for 2025 even 3.4 billion euros are threatened! Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach has already promised higher contributions, which further fueled the rage of the SOVD.

sovd demands justice!

"A increase in contributions would be a mockery!" Complaints Engelmeier and emphasizes with reprint: "First the full repayment of the pandeme -related expenses must come!" Otherwise, every discussion about increasing contributions is not acceptable. The demand for responsibility is clear: the federal government must meet its obligations to stabilize long -term care insurance.

The discussion about the use of funds is anything but over. Does the federal government finally meet your responsibility? The future of long -term care insurance is on the brink!
