Germany approves care reform with subsidy cuts
The German government has approved a reform plan for the long-term care insurance system aimed at addressing the expected financial deficit, which could reach 7.6 billion euros in 2027 and 15 billion euros in 2028 if no measures are taken. The increase in contributions will be applied to individuals without children and those with higher incomes, and some couples who are not insured will be required to pay a new contribution of 0.52%. Additionally, monthly financial support for people classified under primary care will be eliminated, while protected rights will be maintained. Financial aid programs for families and individuals in need of care will be added, along with preventive measures to reduce the need for care through health screenings and expanded support services. The draft law must pass through Parliament before its implementation, with broader reform proposals expected to be introduced in early 2027.
