It's shock-talk, but the Health Ministry of Germany has now said there is a 17-billion Euro deficit in the health insurance deal.
How? Well....Covid.
The talk goes this way....it's not 17-billion at this moment, but will hit that by early 2023, so what they want is a 'place-card' to hand the general public some increase on healthcare insurance.
How much is this going to add up to? The N-TV guys managed to tell this entire story, without a guess on the 'bump-up'. Me guessing? I'd say a 10-percent bump-up is the minimum, and this will all figure into a massive long-term inflation problem.
The public generally accepting this? They might argue it's a big chunk of money but what's the alternate 'solution'?
