Unfair burden on pensioners: Traffic lights just watch when health insurance contributions are doubled. In 2024, the contribution assessment limit will be 62,100 euros.

Double contributions should come to an end - but the health insurance companies need money. Retirees often have to pay for their health insurance once more than once. The problem will probably not be easy for the federal government to solve. It is currently unclear whether there will be further relief to relieve the burden on company pensioners during the legislative period. Such relief is not part of the agreement of the coalition.
