A couple of bundled-togethered German health insurance lawsuits center on statutory funds (GKV) and the federal gov't is in the middle of a mess with insufficient funding for Citizen’s Benefit recipients.
Yearly amount in play? Ten billion Euro roughly.
So to explain this in a simple fashion....regular Germans have x-amount taken out of their paychecks....to cover the 'benefit'.
But if you are a Burgergeld person (welfare class)....then the gov't hands over 100 Euro per person....per month....to cover their bill. The 100 Euro number? It was a selected number with no real significance.....going back two decades ago.
So the folks with the lawsuit say....every time that healthcare needed more money....the working-class got pushed into paying more. It's not fair....is the end-result.
What happens if the court agrees? Some math expert steps up and say the welfare-folks (with the gov't playing along)....has to pay more, while the working-class healthcare will drop like a rock (I would imagine 25-percent).
But while this happens.....the political parties will probably come to agree....long-term asylum folks (the non-Germans) have to proceed to get a job (to pay their fair share), and that German long-term unemployed....probably have to get busy.....working.
