Government advisors are proposing significant cuts to spending on long-term care insurance. A CDU politician sharply criticized the current system, calling it an ‘inheritance protection program’, as Spiegel reports. The proposal aims to make greater use of the homes of those in need of care to finance the system.
Spiegel’s article explains what people in need of care who own a house or apartment actually face. Until now, home ownership has been largely protected under long-term care insurance. The advisors’ recommendations could challenge this arrangement.
