La coalition prévoit d'abolir la coassurance gratuite pour les conjoints

Le gouvernement fédéral allemand prévoit de supprimer la coassurance gratuite pour les conjoints dans le cadre de l'assurance maladie et de l'assurance dépendance obligatoires. Cette mesure vise à combler les déficits budgétaires des caisses d'assurance maladie et rendra la couverture plus onéreuse pour de nombreuses familles, selon des informations obtenues par le Handelsblatt auprès de sources au sein de la coalition.

Des rapports en provenance de Berlin indiquent que l'assurance maladie et l'assurance dépendance obligatoires pourraient devenir sensiblement plus coûteuses pour de nombreuses familles. Des millions de personnes assurées obligatoirement bénéficient actuellement de la coassurance gratuite pour leur conjoint. La coalition a l'intention d'abolir cette disposition afin de remédier aux déficits budgétaires des caisses d'assurance maladie. Le Handelsblatt a obtenu cette information auprès de sources proches de la coalition. Les économistes ont salué cette mesure prévue.
