The Centre Party’s initiative “For lower premiums” provides for a brake on healthcare costs, which should rise in line with the economy and salaries. This brake would operate in the same way as the government’s spending brake. When healthcare costs rise by 20% more than wages per year, the government must take measures to bring costs down.

However, the government and parliament feel that the initiative does not take into account factors such as demographics, medical and technological progress and the dependence of salaries on economic trends. An indirect counterproposal with more targeted measures is ready. At its heart is the introduction of cost-containment targets for services, reviewed every four years.
