In anticipation of the first Bundestag debate on the government’s health reform, scheduled for Friday, Warken expressed a willingness to consider changes, contingent upon closing the financing gap of the statutory health insurance (GKV). She defended her proposal, which includes cuts and increased costs for insured individuals, while maintaining that limits on burdens for patients and those with chronic illnesses would remain unchanged. Warken noted that the GKV faces a shortfall of €3.5 billion more than previously expected, necessitating additional savings measures to achieve contribution stability.
