The government wants a new law for health insurance. This law should save a lot of money. The members of the Bundestag will vote on Friday. But the Green party is against it.

Janosch Dahmen is a Green politician. He asks the Federal Constitutional Court for help. The court in Karlsruhe should stop the vote. He thinks the process is wrong. The court must decide now.
