Health Funds Sue State Over Billions GapThe GKV estimates a €10 billion annual shortfall in covering healthcare costs for citizens receiving welfare benefits.
- The GKV association intends to sue the federal government over insufficient health cost coverage for welfare recipients.
- Currently, a monthly flat rate of €133.17 per welfare beneficiary is paid but fails to cover actual expenses.
- A 2022 report revealed the flat rate should be nearly three times higher to meet healthcare costs adequately.
- The case will be heard at the North Rhine-Westphalia Social Court, with the Federal Office for Social Security representing the state.
The funding gap amounts to about ten billion euros a year.— The umbrella association of statutory health insurance explains the magnitude of the funding gap for the health costs of citizen money recipients.
