German Doctors Expect Fewer Patient Visits Due To Health Savings
A reform package in Germany is expected to require more work from medical professionals without additional pay, potentially leading to the cancellation of 900,000 doctor appointments next year. These cancellations could include emergency and specialist appointments. Holger Rostek criticized this outcome, stating the calculation cannot work. This projection, based on calculations by the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, is attributed to a planned health reform.
