In the debate about the future of long-term care insurance, the potential abolition of care level 1 is causing fierce controversy. While the SPD and social welfare organizations are urgently warning against cuts, business associations and the CDU/CSU are pointing to the exploding costs in the system.

In the current discussion about the reform of the care insurance, we are thinking about the deletion of nursing grade 1. Officially, the system is to be financially relieved. However, the Verbund Pflegehilfe warns: Such a measure would have dramatic consequences for those affected, relatives and the entire care infrastructure. "Abolishing nursing grade 1 means taking the support that people need at the very beginning of their care needs.

The care insurance has been underfunded for years. In Berlin, a proposal for the abolition of nursing grade 1 is to be circulated, which would save around 1.8 billion euros. "Absolutely disproportionate" is only one of the answers from Schleswig-Holstein.

The Federal Government is considering removing the grade 1. Many affected people are insecure, social associations are sounding the alarm - but there is also approval.

Voices in black and red appear to grow that want to shorten the care system. Social associations warn of the "fatal consequences".
