Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the planned increase in the contribution assessment limit will mean higher costs for many employees, despite an average additional contribution expected to be 2.9 percent in 2027. The limit is to rise from 69,750 to 76,500 euros annually – an increase of about 9.7 percent. As a result, an additional 6,750 euros of annual income will become subject to contributions, particularly affecting well-paid employees. According to Boeminghaus, the additional contributions of health insurance funds in 2026 ranged from 2.18 to 4.39 percent. The higher limit will increase health and long-term care insurance contributions for employees with higher incomes as well as the labor costs for companies. He cited FOCUS online from October 18, 2026, as a source. https://t.co/xVSnHFtnlK #Deutschland #Sozialabgaben #Krankenkassen (translated)

Our house was built during the GDR era – today we have to protect it from the state. Dear boomers, the Federal Republic of Germany has reached the socialist end stage. Those who pay nothing naturally get everything. And those who finance the whole thing are now supposed to give up their savings or even their house before they get anything from this so-called nursing insurance? What a mockery. My advice: Waste your wealth or give your children the properties "with warm hands." But don't hesitate, because the nursing fund has a 10-year deadline! After that, the property is secure. Fortunately, everything is already in safe hands for us – the house remains in the family, come what may! Did you know about this 10-year deadline?
