Statutory health insurance funds expressed dissatisfaction with the specific implementation of the law, despite previously supporting initial expert commission savings proposals. Oliver Blatt of the GKV-Spitzenverband stated the financial package is and balanced but said the necessity of reducing expenditures to ensure revenues cover costs. Health insurance providers expressed dissatisfaction with the new reform, noting a net reduction of 1.8 billion euros in funding. The source stated that while the law targets certain funds, it effectively cuts 2 billion euros for other insurance services through secondary measures. The Finance Minister reportedly pushed the legislation through despite these budget concerns.
