Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) wants to abolish the financing of homeopathic treatments by statutory funds. “Homeopathy makes no sense as a health insurance benefit,” wrote the SPD politician on the online platform X (formerly Twitter). "The basis of our policy must be scientific evidence." -Tagesschau via Google Translate

He is against homeopathy for a long time but it is still a health insurance benefit in Germany. This means health insurance makes it free for patients.

Resolves YES if Germany passes a law in 2024 such that statutory health insurances may no longer offer to cover homeopathic treatments by default. The law may become effective later (e.g. beginning of 2025).

Resolves NO if no such law is passed by 2025. Also NO, if the change impacts clearly less than half of the current target group (e.g. excluding kids and teens from the change, who are 90% of the target group).

Insurances may still be allowed to offer private supplemental contracts, such contracts need not be prohibited by the law. The point is that insurance companies cannot use the contributions from all insured people. The people receiving homeopathic treatments should be charged somehow (directly or indirectly), hence the "chargeable" in the title.

I sold my shares and will not trade here anymore because it seems the resolution might become tricky.
