With various advances, Jens Spahn has made in his tenure as Federal Minister of health for upsets. Now, once again, a proposal of the CDU will be discussed politician on controversial – the draft rehabilitation and intensive care in strengthening law (RISG). Thus, the Ministry wants to ensure that respiratory patients are cared for after your hospital stay “better” by the standards of quality in their care are increased. However, it is precisely these patients in protest against the proposed law. You will see their livelihoods at risk.
With some sharp words, to be Concerned, log on to the page. “For me, a law means a change, if it is effective that I decide against a ventilator. I promise you, I will prefer to zusiechen according to die quietly in a nursing home then,” writes a 22-year-old ventilator patient. Similar statements were, according to the “taz” to hear at a protest action of 200 patients on the occasion of the day of the open door in the Federal Ministry of health. Spahn argued with the high cost of intensive care, as well as with some cases of fraud that existed in the sector in the past.
The law provides for exceptions
Exceptions in the draft bill presented rule should not apply when a placement in a care institution “is not possible or is not reasonable” – and especially children may be cared for more at home. Also, for patients who are currently being cared for at home, is to apply a three-year grandfathering. All other cases should be subjected to a reasonableness test. Concerned organisations such AS mobile and the ability to watch, criticize, and that patients would be delivered to clerk “” and so “a certain degree of arbitrariness in the door” will open.
Even the disabled Commissioner of the Federal government, Jürgen fuddle described the draft as “unfortunately, only well-intentioned, but poorly made”. The draft will now be debated over the next few months in the bodies.
