Health insurance contributions explode: traffic lights are criticized!
Berlin, Deutschland - Berlin - the health insurance companies raise the alarm! The growing costs for citizen benefit recipients are now becoming a burden for contributors. The cash register bosses blame the traffic light coalition for the dramatic increase in health insurance contributions. Experts warn that the average additional contribution could already climb at dizzying heights of 2.5 percent in 2025. For the insured, this means: less money in the wallet if the contributions rise again to a record level!
Those in the traffic light government, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach, have to put up with the accusation that they have indebted the Situation with the inadequate financing for citizens' money. According to DAK boss Andreas Storm, the federal government could have prevented the greatest increase in health insurance contributions since 1975. Instead, an increase is now at risk of 0.8 percentage points, while a moderate increase of only 0.2 or 0.3 percentage points would have been possible.
The financing emergency of the health insurers
The financial speed camera that is burdened by the health insurance companies annually can be seen: According to an expert opinion from the IGES Institute, the statutory health insurance companies lack over 9.2 billion euros annually, which are urgently needed by the federal government to cover expenses for citizen benefit recipients. The coalition agreement promised to finance higher contributions from tax funds, but the government has so far hardly any movement in sight.
Statutory health insurance sees itself massively at risk through systematic underfunding, while citizen gowns are sensitive to the coffers. Your supply currently costs around 120 euros per month from tax funds, while privately insured persons receive a whopping 420 euros in similar situations. Now there are once more premium increases that have chaotic financial consequences for many involved!
