The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) wants to prevent further cost explosions in Saxony with a care law. The draft law should include a limit on the personal contributions of those affected as well as the investment costs for care homes, said BSW party and parliamentary group leader Sabine Zimmermann. For 30 years, not much had happened in terms of investment. "Now is the time to put some money into it."
Relatives of people in need of care should be better relieved
"Above all, we would like to legislate to relieve the burden on relatives of people in need of care. The care they provide could be better taken into account in their pension, for example. After all, these people provide a great deal of care," Zimmermann told the German Press Agency. The Care Act was one of the plans agreed by the 15-strong BSW parliamentary group at a closed meeting.
