Doctors Demand Halt to Health Reform
The German Constitutional Court refused to stop the health insurance reform. Opposition parties wanted a hearing, but it was denied. This allows the CDU party to continue with the reform.
Several parties, including the Green and Left parties, raised concerns about the speed of the health insurance reform process. They argued that the reform, called the ‘Spargesetz’, was a failure. The German Parliament had already approved the reform after the Constitutional Court rejected legal challenges. Doctors are opposing the reform and calling for it to stop. The building modernization law was also approved by the German Parliament.
