Monthly out-of-pocket costs for nursing homes in Germany have risen further at the start of 2026. According to AOK and vdek data, the national average in the first year is around 3200 to 3245 euros. Insurers' associations are calling for reform to limit the burden.
Hessen's Minister President Boris Rhein wants no more new pacts with the federal government. He criticizes that such agreements burden the states in the long term and calls for a federalism reform. Rhein also distances himself from Markus Söder's idea of merging federal states.
