- According to Linnemann, the number of people needing care rose from two million to more than six million over 20 years.
- Linnemann will not raise statutory health-insurance copayments in 2027 and says further increases are not a way to curb costs.
- Brysch says cuts under the Pflegeneuordnungsgesetz brought five million people receiving care at home and their relatives close to collapse.
- DIW president Marcel Fratzscher considers ten percent in savings realistic but calls for greater burdens on high earners and protection for low-income people.
Carsten Linnemann seems unaware that the collapse of Germany’s largest care service would mean hundreds of thousands more people needing care in nursing homes. Yet residential care already lacks both places and staff.— Eugen Brysch, head of the German Patient Protection Foundation, said this while criticizing possible cuts to home-care benefits.

- The newsroom reports that employees were only recently informed of the specific closure plans.
