The reform, which aims to enhance the efficiency of the healthcare system, will be supported by increased federal funding. However, several state government representatives have expressed concerns and called for further amendments.

This reform intends to expedite the reintegration of long-term unemployed individuals into the workforce, imposing stricter penalties for non-compliance with job center appointments.
