Germany is facing a critical challenge with its care system as the number of individuals requiring care rapidly increases.

Experts warn of a potential "avalanche" if urgent reforms are not implemented.

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach has promised a comprehensive care reform plan, but political consensus remains elusive.

The financial strain on the care insurance system is significant, with reports suggesting it could face insolvency by February 2025 without intervention.

Lauterbach has denied these claims, assuring that the government will ensure the system's stability.

However, discussions are ongoing about potential increases in insurance contributions to address the rising costs.

The situation underscores the urgent need for a sustainable solution to Germany's care crisis.
