Reinhardt emphasized that such an ambitious initiative should not be hastily passed through Parliament, advocating for a collaborative approach to achieve cost-saving goals without jeopardizing patient care. Minister Warken, however, argued for the urgency of the reform, which aims to relieve statutory health insurance funds by €16.3 billion by 2027, asserting that delays could hinder the stability of contributions for the upcoming year. The reform package includes measures such as expenditure caps for practices and hospitals, as well as increased co-payments for medications.
