According to Deutschlandfunk, Federal Health Minister Nina Warken (CDU) is planning a nursing care reform that cuts subsidies for home care costs and places a greater burden on high earners. The exact details of the reform are not yet known.

Warken recently announced a digitalization strategy for the healthcare system and aims to push the health insurance reform through the Bundestag before the summer break. The nursing care reform is likely to spark further debate, as it will place a greater financial responsibility on high-income care recipients and their relatives.
