The statutory health and long-term care insurance funds are struggling with deficits running into the billions. SPD and Greens want to fill the holes with higher contributions. An analysis by the Bavarian Business Association (vbw) shows: With the new assessment limit of 87,600 euros, the insurance contributions in health and long-term care insurance would increase explosively by up to 46.4 percent.
The labor and social policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, René Springer, explains:
»It’s no secret that the ongoing mass immigration to Germany is putting too much strain on health insurance companies. Millions of strangers can enjoy medical treatment in the Federal Republic at the expense of the contributors. The health system is about to collapse. In order to somehow be able to plug the 17 billion euro deficit of the funds, the contribution assessment limit is now to be increased by up to 46 percent.
The traffic light government wants to continue to squeeze the high-performing parts of society in order to be able to somehow keep their catastrophic migration and social policy going. This redistribution from value-added to performance-dependent residents is simply socially unjust. The consequences of this policy are the departure of skilled workers, the decline of the middle class, social divisions and disenchantment with politics. In this case, too, the insane migration policy of the established politicians again represents the node of social problems. From the point of view of the AfD parliamentary group, a U-turn in migration policy is urgently needed, not least in order to finally relieve the health insurance companies and contributors.«
