Steffan Nethe asked questions about the escape of a 34-year-old clan member from Essen, who was in pre-trial detention. According to his account, the man was supposed to be taken for a radiological examination when armed men overwhelmed and restrained the two accompanying correctional officers. Subsequently, the prisoner managed to escape. Nethe explained that prisoners are generally provided with medical care within the correctional facility; however, appointments for specialized examinations may require outside visits. The accompanying staff are not police officers, but correctional officers. The number assigned depends, among other things, on the individual security and escape risk. He asked why the examination outside the facility had been necessary, whether the alleged clan affiliation had been considered in the security assessment, and why two officers had been sufficient as escorts. He also inquired about the costs of such transports and whether the security measures in this case had been appropriate. #Kriminalität #Justiz #Sicherheit (translated)

He pointed to cuts in parental benefits, cuts in healthcare, higher pension contributions, accusations of laziness against workers, and long waiting times for doctor's appointments.

Nein, man muss mir das GKV-Spargesetz nicht noch besser erklären, damit ich es gut finde. Ich habe bereits verstanden, dass Patienten durch das Gesetz finanziell stärker belastet werden, schwerer an Arzttermine kommen werden und medizinisch schlechter versorgt sind. ⬇️ #GKV #Gesundheitsversorgung #Patientenrechte
Die Wahrheit: Sie bitten Patienten vermehrt zur Kasse, überhäufen niedergelassene Praxen mit Bürokratie und kürzen deren Vergütung. Es wird immer schwieriger werden, einen Arzttermin zu bekommen. Die medizinische Versorgung wird noch schlechter werden. https://t.co/bMCTKoREvf #Gesundheit #Ärztemangel #Medizin
Um die steigenden Beiträge der Krankenkassen zu stoppen, plant die Koalition umfassende Sparmaßnahmen im Gesundheitswesen, die insbesondere zu einer drastischen Reduzierung der Anzahl der Arzttermine und Behandlungen in Thüringen führen könnten. #HealthcareCuts #MedicareReform #PatientAccess
