Söder criticized potential reforms as burdensome for families during challenging economic times, advocating instead for reduced healthcare expenditures. Social organizations echoed his concerns, emphasizing that the family insurance represents a vital social solidarity mechanism. They warned that proposed changes could disproportionately impact low-income households, potentially costing them an additional €225 monthly. The GKV-Spitzenverband attributed financial issues to excessive spending rather than insufficient revenue, calling for structural reforms to address rising healthcare costs.
