The government plans big changes for Germany
164
The government plans many changes. Germany should have more success in the economy. One point is the report for sick leave. Sick people need a doctor paper on day 1. Before, this was only needed after 3 days. A phone call is not enough now. You must go to the doctor practice yourself. Doctors fear full waiting rooms.
There are also changes for taxes. The government gives people back 10 billion Euro. Small incomes pay less tax. Companies have less bureaucracy. That means less paper work. The pension age links to life length. People who live long must work longer. The pension at 63 ends soon.
Economy experts think the plans are too small. They say: These steps are not enough. Germany needs big new investments. The health care funds need much money. Many billion Euro are missing. People must pay more for medicine. Costs for care homes could also rise. The government plans to finish these laws by the year 2026.
