Schnitzer emphasized the need for government reform in the statutory pension system, highlighting demographic changes such as increased longevity and declining birth rates. He asserted that future retirees must enhance their savings and consider supplementary occupational pensions. Additionally, Schnitzer supported the government’s health insurance reform plans but criticized proposed cuts to federal subsidies for statutory health insurance, arguing that the state should bear these costs rather than contributors. This perspective aligns with concerns raised by health insurance leaders regarding the financial implications for citizens.
