    CSU Calls for Increased Federal Funding in Nursing Care Reform

    The CSU faction leader in the Bavarian Parliament, Holetschek, has urged against cuts to nursing care subsidies amid ongoing reform discussions.

    In an interview with ‘Augsburger Allgemeine’, Holetschek emphasized that the federal government must not repeat past mistakes seen in health insurance reforms, where subsidies were reduced to balance budgets, placing the burden on contributors. He highlighted that the federal government owes billions to the nursing care insurance system and cannot evade its responsibilities. This statement positions the CSU at odds with the forthcoming proposals from Federal Health Minister Warken, who is expected to introduce a bill that may impose additional financial burdens on nursing home residents, citing a projected deficit of over 22 billion euros in the nursing care insurance fund over the next two years.
