After healthcare premiums have already risen sharply this year, the premium hammer will hit even harder on policyholders in 2024.
This is where the SP’s premium aid initiative and the Center Party’s cost reduction initiative want to start. People should have voted on the two proposals in March. Actually. Because that is how it was planned, also in consultation with the departments, as the “Tages-Anzeiger” writes. According to SP, the committees had to submit the texts for the voting book to the Federal Chancellery weeks ago.
Now everything is different. The Federal Council decided this week that the pension provision will be voted on on March 3. Specifically about the trade union initiative for a 13th AHV pension and the pension initiative of the Young Liberals. The votes on health insurance premiums: postponed until later.
Mitte boss Gerhard Pfister (61) does not like that at all. On Friday he messed up the text message service. The same day the BfS messed up the election results. We have a government that does not take people’s rights seriously.” He is referring to the federal government’s embarrassing error in counting the election results.
The Social Democrats already sounded the same horn on Thursday. “Everything points to a last-minute trick from the right,” said SP co-chair Mattea Meyer (35) in a press release. The right-wing majority in the Federal Council has been trying to relieve people from exploding health insurance premiums for some time now.
The comrades believe that this is scandalous for two reasons. First, the Federal Council is trying to influence the outcome by postponing the voting dates. They probably fear that the population’s concerns about high premiums will disappear by the summer – especially if it turns out that premiums will increase more moderately again in 2025.
Secondly, relief from health insurance premiums for the population will only come later. The SP demands that the deception must have consequences. (oco)
