The draft bill for the nursing care reform stipulates that high earners and childless people will have to pay higher contributions to long-term care insurance in the future. This is intended to plug an impending billion-euro hole in the nursing care funds, as reported by Tagesschau.

The exact key points of the reform are not yet known in detail. The draft has now been presented and will be discussed in the relevant committees in the coming weeks.
