“Care is not a luxury, but an expression of humanity. It would be cynical for those affected and relatives to introduce a year of waiting for sudden emergencies. Care cannot wait.
We expect sustainably effective and socially just solutions from the BUND-Länder-Working group. Quickly, because we have long been over the limit. The number of people in need of care and the costs rise rapidly. The costs for care in the home are particularly immense. Own shares of up to 3500 euros are not affordable for most.
If politics continues to play for time, the nursing crisis becomes a social disaster. We immediately need to cover the own shares in the event of care. In addition, long -term care insurance must be further developed into a fully of care insurance. This means a system in which everyone pays, also previously insured privately, and in which nursing costs are fully adopted by the insurance. ”
