Social association: Solidarity funding of long-term care insurance required
At its meeting on February 26, 2011, the Federal Executive Board of People's Solidarity adopted the position paper "Ensuring care in solidarity, in line with needs and in high quality". In this way, the people's solidarity with its 280,000 members and 16,000 employees, many of whom work in nursing services and facilities, wants to get involved in the debate about new legal regulations in nursing.
"People's Solidarity is committed to reforming long-term care insurance, which will ensure long-term care in solidarity and better meet the real needs of people in need of care," said President of People's Solidarity, Prof. Gunnar Winkler, about the paper.
“The challenges of an aging society for care can and must be mastered in solidarity. That means further developing nursing care insurance. The term related to care is no longer up to date. We are in favor of a new regulation that better takes into account the needs of people in need of care with dementia and mental illnesses. Maintaining the independence and social participation of the people to be cared for must become more of a priority in care. This also means opening up new scope for better nursing care instead of nursing every minute. This path must be combined with a significant upgrade in the nursing professions. ”
At the same time, people's solidarity demands that prevention and rehabilitation before nursing be promoted more strongly. To this end, she suggests making nursing care insurance an independent provider of rehabilitation services. Association President Winkler emphasized that growing care requirements with an increasing number of people in need of care and an increase in benefits cannot be managed with today's financing mechanism.
“The people's solidarity is in the care of a citizen insurance. For us, before civil insurance, there is a risk structure and financial compensation between social and private long-term care insurance. It cannot be the case that private long-term care insurance continues to accumulate surpluses of currently EUR 19 billion, while well-financed social long-term care insurance means that well over 90 percent of care needs to be provided. We reject the privatization of the nursing risk, for example through a funded reserve. The wrong way of lump sums for health should not be repeated in care. ” In their paper, people's solidarity also sets out positions on the development of nursing professions, training and further training in nursing, support for caring relatives and the compatibility of nursing and work as well as the expansion of the nursing infrastructure.
