The CSU has sharply criticized Federal Health Minister Nina Warken's (CDU) plans to stabilize statutory health insurance. Bavarian CSU parliamentary leader Klaus Holetschek called for stronger federal budget financing of contributions for Bürgergeld recipients. Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil (SPD) rejects this.

CSU leader Markus Söder signaled openness to adjusting the wealth tax in the ARD show «Arena». He views it as part of a comprehensive income tax reform. He did not categorically rule out a sugar tax if it serves health promotion.
