Long-term care issue: battle over health care financing

In the future, Parliament wants to finance outpatient and inpatient healthcare in a uniform manner. However, a number of points of contention remain. (subject image)

Just like the Council of States and the Federal Council, the larger chamber now also wants to include long-term care in so-called monism. But she sets conditions. Firstly, there must be cost transparency in the healthcare sector; second, the nursing initiative must be fully implemented.

“Without integrating care, we will sink the template,” says committee spokesman Lorenz Hess (Centre/BE). Only the SVP voted unanimously no.

Nowadays, outpatient treatment is paid for by health insurers. At least 55 percent of intramural services are financed by the cantons. The health insurers pay the rest. Specific rules apply to long-term care.

The purpose of the monism template is to regulate the financing of healthcare services in a uniform manner. Several differences remain. (SDA)
